Question: Here is a question that a French gambler asked the mathematicians Fermat and Pascal at the very beginning of probability theory: what is the probability of getting at least one six in rolling four dice? The Law of Large Numbers applet allows you to roll several dice and watch the outcomes. (Ignore the tit] the applet for now.) Because simulation - just like real random phenomenon often takes very many trials to estimate a probability accurately, let's simplify the question: is this probability clearly greater than 0.5, clearly less than or quite close to $0.5$ ? Use the applet to roll four dice until you can confide answer this question. You will have to set "Rolls" to 1 so that you have to look at the four up-faces. Keep clicking "Roll dice" to roll again and ag- How many times did you roll four dice? What percent of your rolls produce at least one six?
