AiS Challenge STI Team Abstract
Team Number: FOUR
School Name: Luxor High
Area of Science: Math/Probability
Project Title: Yahtzee
The Exclusive Luxor Hotel
in Las Vegas, Nevada has hired our team of experts to create a
mathematical model to assist in the development of a new game for the
casino. Our challenge is to determine whether or not the game would be
profitable for the house.
Using the game of Yahtzee as our inspiration we are going
to run a computer simulation using dice. We intend
to use Java (and if time allows “C” and parallel programming utilizing
MPI). We expect to use deductive algorithms and inductive test trials to
compare results.
