columns C to E resulting in amounts won or lost by the player. The numbers in cells
H5:H7 show, respectively, the number of times under each column from C to E, the
number called by the player showed up. The number in H5 is calculated by the formula
=COUNTIF(C5:C504,”>0”); similar formulas are used in H6 and H7.
Let us compare the simulation result with those that we can get by applying the basic
probability theory. With three dice, the total number of different face combinations
is 216 (=6*6*6). The probability that the called number will show up on one face is
75/216 (=3*(1/6)*(5/6)*(5/6)), and the probability that two faces ...
