Consider rolling a die. What is the average
number of spots that would appear?
STEPS:
1.) Construct the probability distribution of the random
variable X representing the number of spots that would
appear.
2.) Multiply the value of the random variable X by the
corresponding probability.
3.) Add the results obtained in Step 2.
The value obtained in Step 3 is called the
mean of the probability distribution of X.
