Discrete Random Variables: the Four-Sided Dice
In this activity students are asked to investigate whether it is possible for a four-sided dice, with positive integer faces including odd numbers, to ever have expectation and variance the same. Sheet two carries a simulation with sheet three providing a search programme to find all possible solutions.
This resource is part of the Making Stats Vital collection from Jonny Griffiths.
