Simulating the roll of one die can be accomplished by knowing that it can only fall one of six ways. Each roll means that a certain number on the die has 1/6 of a chance of turning up. The probability of that number showing up is therefore 1/6 each time the die is cast. In the game of craps however, there are two dice being thrown each time. Using two dice changes things dramatically. Now, instead of a single number showing up 1/6 of the time, the probability that two different numbers show up increases to a certain number out of 36. Thirty six represents the numbers on both dice times each other (6 x 6). It is known that the number two can only come up in one manner (1 + 1) so, the probability of getting a sum of 2 is one out of a possible 36. One way to determine the chances of a sum showing up is through a simulation. To determine the probability of winning one must know the probablity of rolling a certain number. Since rolling a two is an automatic loser and there is a one out of thirty...

That means the thrower would lose 12.5% of the time on the first roll of the dice. A tree diagram showing four rolls of the dice displayed this scenario: Game

The probability of the player winning based on the four rolls turned out to be zero, since the player did not win.

Popular Music The New Face Book of Rock and Roll An entirely new book (okay score) on the future of music and the place of rock and roll is being written, and yet we really can't even tell what the experience will be like, though it will most likely be a continued mix of country/folksy democracy. What we can tell is that it will come in the packaging of a self-published,

The understanding of TMJ anatomy as well as its function is very important to generate stable as well as healthy intercuspation. TMJ consists of condyle, disk, muscles and ligaments. It connects the lower jaw to the temporal bone in the skull in both sides and has two movements (Rosenstiel and Land, 2001). The TMJ along with muscles stabilization is the starting point to get the ideal maxilla-mandibular relationship in

These young men were not immersed in the high modernist traditions of Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot: rather, they were immersed in the experience of war and their own visceral response to the horrors they witnessed. Thus a multifaceted, rather than strictly comparative approach might be the most illuminating way to study this period of history and literature. Cross-cultural, comparative literary analysis is always imperfect, particularly given the linguistic challenges

Her appreciating the animatronic animals more than the real ones is a product of technology saturation. Technology has become an annoyance: we all experience the "sense of encroachment of the device" on our personal time and it is difficult to cut ourselves off from the world.

That is if no successful intervention takes place. Campson and Laub go on to say that: We further hypothesize that the concentration of racial poverty and inequality will exert macrolevel effects on punitive forms of social control that are larger for blacks than whites and for drug offenses than other delinquencies. As argued above, the dual image of minority offenders and the "drug war" appears to have formed a symbolic
