You have 10 minutes to complete this task. You may want to work with a partner, but not required.
- Obtain one 6-sided dice and a tally sheet.
- Use the following scheme: Roll the dice two times. If the first roll comes up A and the second roll comes up B, make a tally mark in (A, B). So if the first roll came up 5 and the second roll came up 2, you would make a tally mark in (5, 2). This simulates rolling two 6-sided dice once. Note: this would be easier if we had different color or otherwise distinguishable dice. We don’t, so instead we’ll use this method.
- Each person rolls the dice 72 times to get 36 (A, B) results. Mark the tally on your sheet.
- After completing the dice rolls, sum up the tally marks in each box and get a total for that box. Also, add up across the rows and enter the result in the Experiment column for that row.
- Enter your individual microstate results into this spreadsheet. Take care to make sure you are entering in the right boxes.
- Return your dice and see if you can help someone complete the task, perhaps by assisting them in entering their results into the spreadsheet.
