Sample Test Item 36 (2003)
Posted on December 10th, 2007 by admin
three cubes with sides number 1 through 6? hmm… apparently these test makers have never heard of a casino or gambling or Las Vegas.
i believe they are called DICE!!
the chance of landing on 1 face is (1/6).
the chance of all three dice landing on the same face labeled 3 is (1/6) times (1/6) times (1/6).
P3 = (1/6)3
the chance of all three dice landing on the same face labeled 4 is (1/6) times (1/6) times (1/6).
P4 = (1/6)3
total probablity is:
Ptotal = P3 + P4 = (1/6)3 + (1/6)3
Ptotal = 2 * (1/6)3
choice B is the correct answer
this problem took me a while to get done, maybe because math is the root of all evil or because i suck at math more than the normal human would. math is the worst subject ever created and was make only to show who is more powerful. “if i have more, i am more.” that is how it is see. yes we use math in our ever day life, but only because we were tought to, brainwashed into fearing larger numbers. well i don’t fear many things, if anything at all, and no one is going to tell me that if i have less than them, they have the “right” to tell me were to go, what to do. i don’t think so! math is only another form of control and i am not falling into it, i am not being a sheep to be hearded around, i am a wolf huntting the sheep only to set them free. if they wont to be free? do you want to be free?
if you learn discrete math, you can win more money from casinos.
