Probability Distribution of Dice Game

The video tutorial explains a board game where players roll two three-sided dice and calculate the non-negative difference between the numbers shown. It guides viewers through constructing the theoretical probability distribution of the difference, denoted as 'd'. The tutorial includes a detailed analysis of all possible dice roll scenarios and calculates the probability for each possible difference outcome, resulting in a complete probability distribution for the game.

What is the main objective of the board game described in the video?

• To roll the highest number possible

• To achieve a specific sum with the dice

• To calculate the non-negative difference between two dice

• To match the numbers on both dice
