Question

Die rolls Imagine rolling a fair, six-sided die $60$ times. Draw a plausible graph of the distribution of die rolls. (Hint: Should you use a bar graph or a histogram?)

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Step 1: Given information

Dis rolled $60$ times.

Step 2: Concept

A histogram is a graphing tool that is extensively used. It's used to summarise discrete or continuous data measured on a scale of one to ten. It's a standard way of exhibiting essential data distribution aspects in an easy-to-understand format.

Step 3: Explanation

We receive the following information by rolling a fair six-sided die $60$ times. 

Die Rolls	Counts
1	6
2	10
3	11
4	12
5	8
6	13

Using, the Excel the histogram is shown below: 

Because we are displaying a quantitative variable (die rolls) that is identified on the horizontal axis, the histogram is employed. Thus, a graph is drawn for the rolled die.
