Garrettguy457 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Simple question. Is rolling a six-sided dice that has 5 sides with a 1 and 1 side with a 6 random? Not a 1-6 dice. Or is rolling two dice random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yes. You cannot state with any certainty whether a six or a one will appear. It could be either. There is clearly a higher probability of rolling a one (a five in six chance), but despite that difference in probability the outcome is still random (at least, according to the definition of "random" which I've always used).
