Games of chance: Probability, distributions, or modeling

[ugawoxoto61]

What game scenarios (e.g., dice, card games, roulette, or lotteries) do you use to demonstrate probability, distributions, or modeling in SAS? Has anyone tried creating game simulations to train machine learning models?

I think games of chance are a good metaphor for teaching statistics and data analysis.

I’d go with dice, simple and super clear, you can show probabilities and distributions right away. Cards are fine too, but dice give that quick “wow effect” for teaching.

Thank you all for answers!

Rick do a lot of data simulation for card, dice game.
