standard_description: Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
problem_activity: Task
Cecil has two six-sided dice, a red one and a white one.
If Cecil throws the two dice, what is the probability that the red die is a 1?  What is the probability that the sum of the dice is 7?
Are the two events described part (a) independent?  Explain.
What is the probability that the red die is a 2?
What is the probability that the sum of the two dice is 10?
Are the two events described in part (c) independent?  Explain.
