A sly monkey says to you let's play a game:
we'll take turns to roll two dice
if both dice total 7, I get a point
if they total 2 OR 12, you get a point
the first to get 5 points wins!
Should you play the game?
Let's run some simulations to find out.
Click the ''Roll Dice" button below to run simulations of the game.
This gave a fully working activity that looked good. I embedded it into a site and tested it before asking for the following amendments...
This gave the version shown above which is more than good enough to make a great resource for an interesting investigation. You could ask for more refinements from Chat GPT or, with a little knowledge, edit the code to change font sizes and colors etc.
Here is the final code made by Chat GPT:
