Play the following games in the Games Fair:
- Three Prize Roller
- Word Scramble
- Marble Draw
- Ten Spinner
For each Games Fair game, answer the following questions:
- Create the probability distribution in a table for all the outcomes where X is the random variable representing the number of points awarded.
- Communicate how you arrived at the probability of each outcome.
- What is the expected value, E(X), for the game? You may include this in your table from the distribution. If the game costs 10 points to play, how much would the player expect to win or lose?
- Create the bar graph for the Probability Distribution.
Submit your work in one document created in a word processing program and spreadsheet. Take a screen capture of your charts and graphs and put them into the document. If you need to write math by hand to communicate how you arrived at your probabilities, you may take a picture of your work and insert it into the document. Save the document as a .pdf and submit it to your teacher.
