| Message text If I roll a dice 60 times I wouldnt expect to have an average of 10*1,10*2,10*3,10*4,10*5, 10*6.
No, not exact 10 of each.
But, with a lot of rolls, you would expect some sort of dispersion. Maybe not 10 of each but at least 5 or 6 of any given number.
If you rolled your dice 60 times and got 25 1s and 25 2s, you would think something was not really going right, wouldn't you?
But, most important, if you rolled a dice 60 times, you would have 60 genuinely random events. It would not be numbers created by a formula, subject to error or modification. (Imdog already showed us a plan in which "experienced" players would get a mathematical advantage in die rolling. The very idea chills my blood.
And raises questions like these. |
