On Assignment 11.15, you found the mean and standard deviation for X, the number of dots facing up when a single die is rolled. You may want to pause and look over the solutions to MAC15. These are copied, for your convenience, on the back of this page. We found that the mean is u = 3.5 and the standard deviation is o = 1.7078. Now, suppose that instead of tossing one die and counting the number of dots facing up we toss two dice and let X =the mean number of dots facing up on the two dice.

Name:
On Assignment 11.15, you found the mean and standard deviation for X, the number of dots facing up
when a single die is rolled. You may want to pause and look over the solutions to MAC15. These are
copied, for your convenience, on the back of this page.
We found that the mean is u = 3.5 and the standard deviation is o = 1.7078 .
Now, suppose that instead of tossing one die and counting the number of dots facing up we toss two
dice and let X
= the mean number of dots facing up on the two dice.
Note that when tossing 2 dice, x could end up being 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, or 6.0.
X is a random variable. We call the expected value (also known as the mean) of this random variable
E( x ) or Hx. Your text uses the symbol Ax.
The standard deviation of , also called the standard error of the mean is denoted by the symbol O.
It is easy to calculate once you know o, which you found on MAC15. Review Chapter 7 if you've
forgotten the formula. Then complete the following sentence:
When tossing two dice and finding the mean, X we find that
has a mean or expected value,
and a standard deviation
Finally, suppose that instead of tossing two dice and finding the mean we were to toss five dice and
record the mean for those five dice. Consider how this might (or might not) change the expected value
and the standard deviation of the sample mean. Repeat this for larger samples of 10, 20, and 50 dice.
