When rolling a pair of fair dice, the probability of rolling a total point value of "7" is 0.17 . If you rolled a pair of dice 1,000 times and the point value of "7" appeared 723 times, what would you probably conclude? a. This is not so unlikely as to make you doubt the fairness of the dice. b. Although not impossible, this outcome is so unlikely the fairness of these dice is
questionable. c. Since the total point value of "7" has the highest probability of any event in the sampling distribution, this is anextremely likely outcome. d. It is impossible for this to happen if the dice are fair.
