Abstract

This paper examines the probabilities of outcomes
from rolling dice with the dimension 1 x 1 x r for various values of r. Experiments were conducted by school
students and University students. The results of the experiments are given and the probabilities examined using
a generalized linear model. Notes are also made about
the value of the experiment in teaching each group of
students.
