You are going to roll four twenty-sided dice. If the rolls total to 20 or less, roll two more twenty-sided dice and add that to the total. For instance, if the total of my four die rolls is 32, then that is the score of the game. If the total is 17, then I roll two more dice and add that to the total. If these two bonus dice total 20, then the score of that game is 37. Of ten thousand games, what is the average score? (enter what you came up with here)
Insufficient information. Catalogue of the 10,000 rolls is required.
So you're expected to throw four 20 sided dice four times, either physically or by simulation. Any number between 200,000 and 800,000 is valid. If the question had been "what is the \(expected\) score", that would be a completely different (probability) problem. I suggest you do a simulation, or else you'd be working day and night for two days.
@aliciaM It would be interesting what you get as results, so please share your results if you have finished your simulation.
