Variance of fair die roll (1-6):

  1. 3.5
  2. 6
  3. 1
  4. 35/12 ≈ 2.92 (= ((6²-1)/12) for uniform discrete)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 35/12 ≈ 2.92 (= ((6²-1)/12) for uniform discrete)

For uniform discrete {1,2,...,n}: Var = (n²-1)/12. For n=6: 35/12. Mean = (n+1)/2 = 3.5. SD = sqrt(35/12) ≈ 1.71.
