Answer: Mean = 7.8
Median = 9
Mode = 2,9
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Mean</u> is the average value of a data set. Mean from a frequency table is calculated as:
E(X) = 7.8
Mean for the given frequency distribtuion is 7.8.
<u>Median</u> is the central term of a set of numbers. Median in a frequency table is calculated as:
1) Find total number, n:
n = 10 + 9 + 10 + 7 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 46
2) Find position, using:
= 23.5
Median is in the 23.5th position.
3) Find the position by adding frequencies: for this frequency distribution, 23.5th position is 9
Median for this frequency distribution is 9.
<u>Mode</u> is the number or value associated with the highest frequency.
In this frequency distribution, 2 and 9 points happen 10 times. So, mode is 2 and 9.
Mode for this distribution is 2 and 9.
Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose
We have and
, because the dice are fair.
Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that
Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:
- 2 in a unique way (1+1)
- 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
- 4 in three possible ways
- 5 in three possible ways
- 6 in three possible ways
- 7 in two possible ways
- 8 in a unique way
This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5
