Question 359931: Say I tossed two dice 100 times and wrote down the values.
Theoretical P(at least one 6 or a difference of four)= 5/36 about 13%
Actual P(at least one 6 or a difference of four)= 12%
Would I calculate the standard deviation of the data to get a value or use a binomial dist and get the theoretical standard deviation.
Or better yet, what does the standard deviation tell me in regard to why my actual and theoretical are not the same?

P of at least a six on one of the dice or a difference of 4 (1:5), (5:1) is 13/36.
