Billy was playing a game with their cousins at their family barbeque. Billy rolls a 6-sided die. The number of candies each player gets is determined by the number rolled. Below is the mapping of Billy's game, showing the possible inputs and outputs.

Part II: State the values of the domain AND what the domain represents in terms of their game?

1 answer

In the context of Billy's game with the 6-sided die, the domain consists of all the possible outcomes of rolling the die. Specifically, since a standard 6-sided die has faces numbered from 1 to 6, the domain is the set of integers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Values of the domain:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6

What the domain represents in terms of their game: The domain represents the possible numbers that can be rolled on the die, which in turn determines how many candies each player will receive during the game. Each number corresponds to a specific outcome where the player gets that many candies based on the number rolled.
