There were many questions, but the ones I don't get are: Use your data to find the following experimental probabilities P(5) P(6) P(12) and P(36)
Make a chart to find the "SAMPLE SPACE" which I don't know how to do...
The other 5 questions I could understand.

----------------
What numbers are on your cubes?
What "result" are you looking at from each roll?
Are you looking for the sum of the upward faces?, the product of the
up ward faces? or what?

I'm asking this so I can understand how you would get P(36)?
Cheers,

(Note: I am going to explain this without having looked at your data.)

To find the probabilities using the experimental data just make the following fractions and reduce:
P(5) = (number of times you spun a 5)/30
P(6) = (number of times you spun a 6)/30
P(12) = (number of times you spun a 12)/30
P(36) = (number of times you spun a 36)/30
(If you are using standard number cubes (aka dice), then P(36) should be 0 since a spin of two dice cannot possibly add up to 36.)

As far as the chart goes, I am not sure if there is a specific kind of chart that should be used. You could use a bar chart where one axis is the number of spins and the other axis is the sum for that spin. I'd suggest that the sums be on the horizontal axis (aka x-axis) and the number of spins would be on the vertical axis (aka y=axis). Then for each sum you would draw a bar from the x-axis up to the hieight that matches the number of times you spun that number. For example, if you spun an 8 ten times, then you would draw a bar at 8 on the x-axis up to where 10 is on the y-axis. Do this for each number you spun. (There will be no bars for numbers you never spun.)

I hope this helps.
