A particular die thrown a 100 times. The results are as follows:
x 1 2 3 4 5 6
frequency 12 20 27 21 14 6
a) Calculate the sample mean X̅, i.e. the average score you expect when throwing a single die
b) Calculate the corresponding sample standard deviation s
c) Now this experiment is conducted again 35 times. Assuming that the die indeed follows a
distribution with corresponding mean and variance found in a) and b), find the probability that
the sample mean, i.e. the average score of these 35 experiments, exceeds 4.

To calculate the sample mean X̅, we can use the following formula:
X̅=i=1nxifii=1nfi
where n is the number of possible outcomes (in this case, n=6), xi is the score of the ith outcome, and fi is the frequency of the ith outcome.
Substituting the values from the table, we get:
X̅=(1×12)+(2×20)+(3×27)+(4×21)+(5×14)+(6×6)12+20+27+21+14+6
Simplifying the numerator and denominator separately, we get:
X̅=12+40+81+84+70+36100=323100=3.23
Therefore, the sample mean X̅ is 3.23.
