Measures of Central Tendency

Description

This example demonstrates the calculation of the mean for a probability distribution of a fair six-sided die. The probability of each outcome (1 to 6) is equally 1/6. The mean is calculated by multiplying each possible outcome by its probability and summing the results. For this fair die, the mean is determined to be 3.5.

This example illustrates the calculation of the mean for a probability distribution of an unfair six-sided die. Unlike a fair die, the probabilities are not equally distributed, with a higher probability (2/6) for rolling a 1. The mean is calculated using the same method as before, resulting in approximately 2.83.
