Probability and Statistics – Consider a game of chance using 5 dice. (Recall that a die has 6-sides, with numbers ranging from 1 to 6.) In the game, each player takes turns rolling all five dice, ten times. The totals of the numbers shown on the five dice are added together for each of the ten rolls, resulting in each playing having 10 numbers. In this game, the winner isn’t determined by who has the highest single roll, or the highest total numbers rolled, but by the highest range in the numbers rolled. Question: What is the value which would guarantee a win (or at least a tie for winner) in this game?

Roulette American roulette is a game in which a wheel turns on a spindle and is divided into 38 pockets. Thirty-six of the pockets are numbered 1-36, of which half are red and half are black. Two of the pockets are green and are numbered 0 and 00 (see figure). The dealer spins the wheel and a small ball in opposite directions. As the ball slows to a stop, it has an equal probability of landing in any of the numbered pockets. (a) Find the probability of landing in the number 00 pocket. (b) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket. (c) Find the probability of landing in a green pocket or a black pocket. (d) Find the probability of landing in the number 14 pocket on two consecutive spins. (e) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket on three consecutive spins.
