QUESTION 16

  1. What reason below best explains why it is so hard to ""know"" by simple experience which is more likely,9 or 10, in a throw of 3 dice? (I.e., most people have a hard time answering this question using ""intuition"" or casual experiences [not systematic] over their lifetime - why is that?)

       

    The difference in probability of throwing a 9 or 10 is too small to pick up on the difference using everyday experience.

       

    Errors in totaling up the dots of the 3 dice when you are playing 3-dice games which then lead to memory errors that contribute to a quick answer to the question which roll,9 or 10, is more likely.

       

    The lack of 3 dice games these days and so a the lack of experience on which to make a quick answer to the question of which roll, 9 or 10, is more likely
