#Perhaps dice <- matrix(sample(1:6, 40000,replace=T), ncol=2) dice.max <- apply(dice, 1, max) barplot(table(dice.max)) #and just for interest mids<-barplot(table(dice.max)/length(dice.max)) #gives proportions all.pairs <- expand.grid(1:6, 1:6) dice.max.exact <- apply(all.pairs, 1, max) points(mids, table(dice.max.exact)/36, pch="_", cex=2, col=2) ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.
