Usage Drop the coins and sum face values. Draw the corresponding line using the table on the next slide: Repeat other five times way starting from the bottom, moving up. Comment The probability for each outcome is: 2+2+2 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 6 2+2+3 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 7 2+3+2 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 7 3+2+2 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 7 3+2+3 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 8 3+3+2 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 8 2+3+3 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 8 3+3+3 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 9 This means: Prob( ) = 1/8 = 0.125 Prob( ) = 3/8 = 0.375 Prob( ) = 1/8 = 0.125 Prob( or ) = 4/8 = 0.5 Prob( -> ) = 1/4 = 0.25
