This lab illustrates atmospheric pressure and the gas laws. You will need an empty aluminum drink can, or two or three, .... a heat source, a bowl or pan of cold ice water. Use tongs when handling the can to keep from burning your self. Use an empty soft drink can. Put a small amount of water in the bottom of the empty can - about enough to cover the bottom well. Place the can on a heated stove burner and heat the water to boiling. Wait until the water in the can comes to a good boil and steam is coming from the opening of the can. Using tongs, quickly remove the can from the heat and immediately invert it while putting the can into a bowl of icy cold water. This is one of the activities that I have gotten the most feedback on. Have fun! Submit your report with complete sentences, paragraphs, and correct punctuation and grammar. I'm looking for three paragraphs. In the first paragraph describe what you did. In the second paragraph describe what you observed or what happened, and in the third paragraph explain why this happened, or the meaning of your observations

Using the previous tutorial, address the following: Imagine an experiment where three dice are tossed and the numbers on each die is recorded under Die1, Die2 and Die3. Answer the following questions about the sum of the three numbers recorded from: Die1+Die2+Die3. (Discussions allowed)
Hint:
Simulate this experiment 1000 times. (use the same
procedure as in the above tutorial, but for the Number of
Variables, instead of 1 put 3; since we are rolling 3 dice not
one).
Next, create a new column by writing, in cell D1 =A1+B1+C1, and
scroll down the results by clicking on D1 cell and bottom-right
corner. (for more detail see the Book chapter on lecture 26)
Finally create the histogram based on this new column. Use bins
3,4,5,…,18.
16. What is the (approximate) probability that
Die1+Die2+Die3=8?
a. Probability is approximately 5%
b. Probability is approximately 10%
c. Probability is approximately 20%
d. Probability is approximately 25%
17. What is the (approximate) probability that
Die1+Die2+Die3<7?
a. Probability is approximately 5%
b. Probability is approximately 10%
c. Probability is approximately 15%
d. Probability is approximately 20%
18. What is the (approximate) probability that
Max(Die1,Die2,Die3)=5? Careful: Use “Max( ) function in
Excel.
a. Probability is approximately 5%
b. Probability is approximately 15%
c. Probability is approximately 25%
d. Probability is approximately 45%
