Probability
Day One
For this assignment we will explore probability within the game Dungeons & Dragons.
You will need the Dice Probability Data and D&D Character worksheets.
Using the Probability Data worksheet, roll dice as needed to fill out the worksheet. You will enter this data onto this Google Form.

Once you have completed that, begin to fill out your Character worksheet. We will walk through this in class, it may be helpful if you search for the "5e player's handbook" in Google. Many of the features of the character you create will be a combination of your imagination, and what numbers you roll from various types of die.
Day Two
Look at the data we collected as a class: Google Sheet of Dice Data
From this data you need to make a quick reference info graphic that a board game studio could hang around their office.
The information you are trying to provide them is simply what the theoretical & empirical probabilities are for a standard set of dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20 [Extra Credit if you include 4d6]). Your document can be created in the software, and the orientation of your choice. Size could be either an 8.5x11 or 11x17.
Remember this is for a game studio, and must be a design with visuals and colors that you would find in a game studio, not in an accounting office.
Formula for Empirical Probability: # of times an event occurs / total # of outcomes
Formula for Theoretical Probability: # of chances and event can occur / total # of outcomes
