1what determine half life of a particular set dice 2 how doe

1)what determine half life of a particular set dice? 2) how does the dice experiment relate real radioactive decay and half life ?3)how would u explain why some of the dice had a dot come up the first time and other did not have a dot come up even after 20 or 30 throws ?

Solution

1. The throwing of dice is a random event, the same as the decay of an atom is random. As a result, dice can be used to simulate radioactive decay. To simulate radioactive decay, we need to know when a die has \"decayed\". The easiest way is to blacken one of the faces on a wooden cube to represent a \"decay\". When the blackened face comes up the die has “decayed” and is removed from the set. Now since the entire process is completely random, so the number of throws after which the number of dice reduces by half the number we started with is the half life of a particular set dice.
2. So, part one explains that, given that the process is entirely random, thus it is possible for us to correlate any two completely random processes of throwing dice and predicting half life.
3. The problem is completely random so calculating the odds for a dice which does not have a dot come up is (5/6)^20 which is way less but still not equal to zero so there do exist dice which do not get the final dot appear even after 20 throws.
