First, consider an 'experiment' where we will toss a fair die and letX = the number of dots facing up. of course the possible values for X are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and each of these is equally likely. Show the probability distribution for X using the first two columns in the table below.Avoid rounding errors, show the probabilities as fractions - not as decimals. Next fill in the next two columns using fractions. Don't reduce fractions as you'll want to have a common denominator in each column.
* means multiply
a) Express the Expected Value of X, also known as the mean, u, as both a reduced fraction and as a decimal
b) show your work to find variance and standard deviation in both fraction and decimal.
