[ noun ] small cubes with 1 to 6 spots on the faces; used to generate random numbers
Synonyms Used in print (Frederick Mosteller et al., Probability with...)When three dice are tossed repeatedly , what is the probability that the number of aces is 0 ( or 1 , or 2 , or 3 ) ? If three dice are tossed , a trial is one toss of one die and the experiment is composed of three trials . Mathematically , we shall not distinguish the experiment of three dice tossed once from that of one die tossed three times . For the marksman , we study sets of five shots ( * * f ) ; for the mice , we restrict attention to litters of eight ( * * f ) ; and for the aces , we toss three dice ( * * f ) . Thus in the three dice example * * f , * * f , and the independence assumption implies that the probability that the three dice fall ace , not ace , ace in that order is ( 1 6 ) ( 5 6 ) ( 1 6 ) . |
