A Formula for a Two-Dice Horse Race
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v41 n1 p14-17 Spr 2019
A formula is derived for a 'two-dice horse race', in which two ordinary dice are thrown repeatedly and each time the sum of the scores determines which horse (numbered 2 to 12) moves forward one space. This paper answers a question posed in a former "Teaching Statistics" article, and demonstrates the value of simulation.
