Question 807008: a die is modified so that the probabilities of the six possible results are in proportion to the possible results; i.e. the probability of rolling a two is twice the probability of rolling a one, the probability of rolling a three is three times the probability of rolling a one, the probability of rolling a four is four times the probability of rolling a one, the probability of rolling a five is five times the probability of rolling a one, and the probability or rolling a six is six times the probability of rolling a one.
a. what is the probability of rolling a 6?
b. what is the expected value of the result of a roll?
c. What is the variance of the result of a roll?
