Statistics, Data Analysis and Probability for Grade 12, Problem ID: 5216

Statistics, Data Analysis and Probability K12Jane was a naughty little girl. When she used to play 2-dice games with her late grandfather she always used to cheat. Her grandfather would pretend not to notice that the dice had landed and that she quickly changed one of the dice to her advantage. Specifically, if it was her throw she changed the lowest die to a 6. If it was his throw she changed the highest die to a 1.

Over a long run of throws, how much bigger was Jane’s average score than her grandfather’s?
