Activity Sheet 3: Group #: Group 1 Date

The document provides an activity sheet asking students to complete a probability distribution table with values for the random variable X, the probability of each value P(X), and their product X*P(X). It then asks students to find the mean of the probability distribution. An example is also provided of calculating the average number of spots when rolling a die to illustrate finding the mean.
