jim_thompson5910 · Answer

You would create a table for all the possible outcomes and have the associated probabilities with those outcomes

does that help?

dumbcow · Answer

the distribution would look like one for the single die, except all values would be doubled
so distribution would be centered at 7 instead of 3.5

@jim_thompson5910 I have a table created on 50 rolls. I don't follow on you saying "the associated probabilities with those outcomes" though.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

why 50 rolls?

can't you just generalize it?

but if you must use 50 rolls, then you'll have to actually roll the die yourself (either physically or with a simulation)

anonymous · Answer

I have all the rolls complete.   I just dont really understand how to create a probability distribution for it

anonymous · Answer

oh and Idk how to generalize it lol..

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok did you record what you got for each roll?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ie, did you record the number of times you got a 1, the number of times you got a 2, etc etc

anonymous · Answer

right now i just have the number of rolls and what each was during that roll

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok post that please

anonymous · Answer

its all hand written on paper..   but i just tallied up everything do you want that instead?
