Subject:StatisticsPrice:2.84 Bought6
Taylor Swift and Kanye West are playing a dice rolling game. Kanye has rolled 3 straight sums of 7 and then states he is betting against rolling a 7 on the next roll because it is less likely to occur. He reasons that the probability of getting 4 straight sums of 7 is (1/6)(1/6)(1/6)(1/6) = 1/1296 so 7 is less likely to occur on the 4th roll. At this point Taylor rips the dice from Kanye and states to the people in the crowd that Kanye is an idiot and the probability is still 1/6 of him getting a 7 on the next roll and he should learn statistics. Who is right and why?
