Grade 8 Maths Assignment Question.

[Gr8katew]

During a game of "Lucky Diamonds or Sixes" the following win and loss tally was recorded, win-6 and loss-20. If 50 games were played, do the numbers reflect all possible outcomes? Explain your reasoning. Can someone help me please?

Is the answer no because there is 50 outcomes so the number of wins and losses have to total 50, or is that completely wrong? I'm confused.

Description of games attached.

You are given only 26 outcomes when there should be 50. Do I need to say more?

Thankyou. Im only 12 and I thought it may be a trick question.

12 year olds have logic skills! You did in fact arrive at the same conclusion as I did. Great job! With some more mathematical maturity you will eventually trust you judgment.
