In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time.
