Chapter 9.3, Problem 7MS
Dr Die. Suppose you doctor a standard six-sided die by changing the face with three dots into a face with five dots. (So your die now has two faces with five dots, and no face with three dots.) Sketch a histogram of the theoretical distribution of the frequency of each outcome if you were to roll the die 600 times.
