Experiment 2 Probability of States In this experiment you will use two dice to test the probability of states Materials 2 Different Colored Dice Procedure 1 Take the dice and roll them on a flat surface like a table or floor Record the macrostate by placing a tally mark in Table 3 2 Repeat Step 1 ninety nine more times to get a distribution map of the probability of macrostates for two dice 2014 eScience Labs LLC All Rights Reserved Table 3 Dice Macrostate Probability Data 100 Trials Macrostate Number of Occurrences Tally Marks Total Occurrences 2 I 1 3 IIII 4 4 IIIII 5 5 IIIIIIIIIII 11 6 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 23 7 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 17 8 IIIIIIIIIIII 12 9 IIIIII 6 10 IIIIII 6 11 IIIIIII 7 12 IIIIIIII 8 Post Lab Questions 1 Create a graph of the number of occurrences with the corresponding macrostate How does this graph compare to the graph you created in Pre Lab Question 3 2 Given your data for one hundred rolls calculate the probability of rolling one specific macrostate How does this compare to the percentages you calculated in Pre Lab Question 3 2014 eScience Labs LLC All Rights Reserved 3 If you repeated this experiment four times would you expect similar results Why or why not 4 How would your results be different if you rolled the dice fifty times Five hundred times 2014 eScience Labs LLC All Rights Reserved
