the mean of the

Dear student,
In a die toss, the total number of outcomes = 6. Let X be the random variable representing a number on the die.
1 appears on 3 faces, P (X=1) = 362 appears on 2 faces, P (X=2) =265 appears on 1 face, P (X=5) = 16Given this distribution, we can calculate the Mean =1×36+2×26+5×16=36+46+56=126=2
Note: Mean of the probability distribution =Xi×PXi The Expected value of X is nothing but the mean of X.
Regards
