1. Toss a pair of dice 50 times and tally the total
dot count and the absolute and
relative frequency of each count.
| Dot Count | Tally | Total Frequency | Relative Frequency |
| 2 | . | . | . |
| 3 | . | . | . |
| 4 | . | . | . |
| 5 | . | . | . |
| 6 | . | . | . |

2. Use the class results to estimate the probability
of each outcome.
3. Form the probability distribution of the random
variable X = dot count from toss of
a pair of dice.
4. Interpret your estimate of P(X=5).
5. Which dot count is most likely to occur when you
toss a pair of dice? Why do you
think this is the most likely
outcome?
