Consider a fair $8$8 sided die with faces labeled from $1$1 to $8$8.

Let $X$X be the outcome when the die is rolled.

a

Complete the table of values for the probability distribution for $X$X.

$x$x $1$1 $2$2 $3$3 $4$4 $5$5 $6$6 $7$7 $8$8
$P\left(X=x\right)$P(X=x) $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$
b

Calculate the mean of the distribution.

c

Calculate the standard deviation of the distribution correct to two decimal places.

d

The die was rolled 20 times with the following results

$8$8 $4$4 $1$1 $7$7 $5$5
$2$2 $4$4 $8$8 $2$2 $6$6
$3$3 $6$6 $3$3 $5$5 $3$3
$1$1 $5$5 $5$5 $5$5 $8$8

Calculate the sample mean of the results.

e
