The DICE Game in Mahabharat*

In the famous Dice Game in Mahabharat played between Pandavas and Kauravas, while Yudhishthir went on putting n loosing items one by one, Shakuni went on calling the total of the numbers on his magical pair of dice, and went on getting the desired totals one by oneand winning all the stakes. It was probably impossible to have the same numbers on dice which called by Kauravas, but because of super natural control of Shakuni on his pair of dice made Pandavas deprived from their Kingdom n everything.

In that great gamble*--
on stake ----------------- Numbers called ---------- Probability
-------------------& thrown by Shakuni
Naulakha Haar ------- 6, 8, 12, 8, 10, 9 ----- 1500/(36) to the power 6
1,18,000 Gold Coins ------- 12 ------------------ 1/36
Chariot --------------------- 8 ------------------ 5/36
1,10,000 Maids ------------ 6 ------------------- 5/36
All Money ------------------ 8 -------------------5/36
Kingdom ------------------ 12 ------------------- 1/36
Nakul ---------------------- 9 ------------------- 4/36
Sahdev -------------------- 6 -------------------- 5/36
Arjun ---------------------- 8 -------------------- 5/36
Bhim ----------------------12 ---------------------1/36
Yudhishthir(himself)------- 9 --------------------- 4/36
Draupadi------------------- 9 --------------------- 4/36

Overall 1.047 x 10 to the power -18
= About 1 in trillion trillion
= About once in 3 million trillion years if played daily.


MORAL of the story-- Never play with an extra ordinary player....hahaha

Statistics

Statistics is a subject with less mathematics and more reasoning ability or science to apply the rules. But so many students have a fear with this interesting subject. There are many simple tricks by which you can make it simple and easy to understand.

The very first thing is you have to stop considering Mathematics as a subject. Our PURAANs has described mathematics as basic literacy. They have compared mathematics with reading and writing ability, as they are necessary to learn for us, mathematics is also have the same scope in our general life. Even the people who are not able to read or write a single sentence, are using mathematics in general life.

Statistics is based on basics of mathematics. You just have to be able to make calculations and the statistics will be no more harder ................
