Excel Lab 3 … Dice Probability Simulation
Objective: create a simulation that models the tossing of 2 dice to compare
Theoretical with Experimental probability. The simulation should investigate
the different sums that are possible and the probabilities that accompany
them. The simulation should also include a bar graph that displays the results
visually.

Creating a Bar Graph (notice the horizontal axis is 2-12 … that won’t be automatic this week)

Interesting to note standard deviation (s):
s = sqrt (npq) ;
where n = number trials, p = probability of success, q =
probability of failure
Due: email your excel document to me saved with the results of 360 tosses and a table comparing the theoretical and
experimental probabilities that you observed. The EXP and THR numbers in the table should update automatically with
each roll of the dice and be rounded to the whole number.
