Goals: This laboratory applies random number generators to a range of experiments involving the multiple rolls of dice and multiple tosses of a coin.
Previous laboratory work simulated the rolling of a die, by defining a procedure roll-a-die using Chez Scheme's random procedure to obtain random integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. That work also simulated the rollng of a die several times, showing the results of each of n tosses. The resulting procedure was called roll.
We can simulate the rolling a pair of dice by calling roll-a-die twice -- perhaps making a list out of the two results:
(define pair-of-dice
(lambda ()
(list (roll-a-die) (roll-a-die))
)
)
