3 The random variable \(X\) represents the value on the upper face of an eight-sided dice after it has been rolled. The faces are numbered 1 to 8
The random variable \(X\) is modelled by a discrete uniform distribution with \(n = 8\)
3
- Find \(\mathrm { E } ( X )\)
3 - \(\quad\) Find \(\operatorname { Var } ( X )\)
3 - Find \(\mathrm { P } ( X \geq 6 )\)
3 - The dice was rolled 800 times and the results below were obtained.
| \(\boldsymbol { x }\) | \(\mathbf { 1 }\) | \(\mathbf { 2 }\) | \(\mathbf { 3 }\) | \(\mathbf { 4 }\) | \(\mathbf { 5 }\) | \(\mathbf { 6 }\) | \(\mathbf { 7 }\) | \(\mathbf { 8 }\) |
| Frequency | 103 | 63 | 84 | 110 | 74 | 41 | 85 | 240 |
State, with a reason, how you would refine the model for the random variable \(X\).
