How is the balance between head and tails maintained? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

What I want to know is why I have an expected return of 35 when I roll 10d6. I just don't understand it. Can someone teach me to multiply and divide? I have a multivar exam on monday and I think arithmetic might be on the test.

When I flip my cats they always land on their feet. Cats = Gods

That's what cats think, anyway.

Don't forget the Egyptian furries. Don't let their fursonas languish in the Duat unremembered!

So I flipped a coin 100 times, and it came up heads 52 times and tails 48 times. This is freaking me out. I think maybe God is trying to tell us something? This seems to happen in other countries too.

Getting 50 heads and 50 tails is 8% more probable than getting 52 heads and 48 tails.

For gribbler: 10d6 = ten six-sided dice.

**BDDkDvgZ** · 12-18-2011, 05:50 PM

What exactly is the difference?

... six ten sided dice in a saving roll is cheating, d20 only

Because the range you get 10-60, which is a 50. Spliting it even will make the expected return 35 - 25 numbers above 35, and 25 numbers below 35.

ACK!

I think (guess) he was being sarcastic...

Expected result of 1d6= 3.5 thus expected result of 10d6 = 10*3.5=35. It doesn't get much simpler than that. Sigma is a (tiny) bit trickier.

It's hard to tell with the way you post here.
