  2. Observation: Roll 3 has zero stones
    Hypothesis: 3's, 5's, and 6's do not affect stones
    Test: Hypothesis is incorrect, in Roll 2 there are 3's, 5's, and 6's and stones.

  3. Observation: I noticed that on roll number 3 there were zero stones, which is a minimum.
    Hypothesis: 3`s,5`s, and 6`s don't affect stones.
    Test: My hypothesis is incorrect because there are 3`s,5`s, and 6`s in roll 2, but there are still stones.(3 stones)

  4. Observation: There are zero stones in roll 3
    Hypothesis: If the numbers besides 3,5, and 6 are added up in a roll, then the sum will equal the number of stones.
    Test: My hypothesis is correct because it is true in all 5 rolls.

  5. observation: there are 7 stones in roll one
    Hypothesis: adding all of the 1's, 4's,2's per roll will equal the number of stones in that role.
    Test: My hypothesis proves correct based on this set of data. Ex. in role two there is a 1,3,5,2, and 6. 1+2=3 which is the number of stones in that particular role.

  6. Observation: There are 0 stones in roll 3.
    Hypothesis: 3's,5's, and 6's do not affect stones.
    Test: The hypothesis is correct because roll 3 has only 3's,5's, and 6's and has 0 stones. In other rolls, the number of stones are greater than 0, and they have 3's,5's, and 6's. However, they also have other numbers that affect the number of stones.
