What students worked out10

  • Student 2

    FOR 5
    1/4
    2/3
    FOR 10
    4/6
    5/5
    EQUAL CHANCE

  • Student 1

    5:
    1/4
    2/3
    10:
    4/6
    5/5
    Equal chance

  • Student 3

    Sum 5 is more likely
    For 5
    1,4
    2,3
    3,2
    4,1
    For 10
    4,6
    5,5
    6,4

  • Student 4

    For 5
    1,4
    2,3
    3,2
    4,1
    For 10
    4,6
    5,5
    6,4
    So five has more chances

  • Student 6

    For 5 – 1,4 / 2,3 / 3,2 / 4,1
    For 10 – 4,6 / 5,5 / 6,4
    As likely five has more chances of winning

  • Student 10

    Chances of rolling 5:
    1,4 (or vice-versa)
    2,3 (or vice-versa)
    = 2 chances
    Chances of rolling 10:
    4,6 (or vice-versa)
    5,5
    = 2 chances

    Therefore, both 5 and 10 have equal chances of getting rolled.

  • Student 5

    for 5
    3,2
    2,3
    4,1
    1,4

  • Student 5

    for 10
    5,5
    4,6
    6,4
    5 wins

  • Student 13

    5 is more probable

  • Student 8

    It is equal chanche
