10-57.
Larry and Barry are playing a game using a penny and a number cube. Larry gets a point for every "three" that is rolled. Barry gets a point for every "head" that is flipped. Is this game fair? Why or why not?
What is the probability that a ''three'' will be rolled? What is the probability that a ''head'' will be flipped?
This game is not fair, because it is more likely that a ''head'' will be flipped than a ''three'' will be rolled.
