    Students conducted experiments to determine whether a standard six-sided die was biased. They threw a die 120 times using different methods, such as holding the die or placing it in a cup before throwing it onto different surfaces. The results were combined and charts were made to compare the frequencies of each face landing face up. Based on these experiments and analyses, the students discussed their findings and stated a conclusion about the die's bias.

    Title: Is An Ordinary Six-faced Gaming Die Bias?

    Purpose: To carry out simple experiments to determine whether or not an ordinary


    six-faced gaming die is bias or not.

    VARIABLES: Independent- size of the die


    Manipulated- different types of experiments Responding- faces of the die

    Procedure:
    1. Students were place into six groups of threes and fours. Each group randomly choose one of the experiments below, (i to vi) to carry out in which each group had to throw an ordinary 6-faced gaming die one hundred and twenty times on different surfaces. (i) The die was held in the palm of the hand and shaken around a few times before it was thrown onto a varnished table top. (ii) The die was placed in a Styrofoam drinking cup and shaken around a few times before it was thrown onto a varnished table top. (iii) The die was placed in a glass drinking cup and shaken around a few times before it was thrown onto a varnished table top. (iv) The die was held in the palm of the hand and shaken around a few times before it was thrown onto a cloth covered table top. (v) The die was placed in a Styrofoam drinking cup and shaken around a few times before it was thrown onto a cloth covered table top. (vi) The die was placed in a glass drinking cup and shaken around a few times before it was thrown onto a cloth table top.

    2. When all groups carried out their experiments, all of the results were then combined. 3. A table was constructed with the frequencies of each face landing uppermost face on the die. 4. Using Microsoft excel, charts were then made for each of the experiments to show comparisons of the frequencies for each face 5. For each experiment, the relative probability was calculated for each face landing uppermost. All results were tabulated. 6. All findings and comparisons were discussed and a conclusion was stated.
