Fair Six-Sided Die

Definition

A fair six-sided die is a cube-shaped object with each face marked with a different number from 1 to 6. A fair die has equal chances for each number to be rolled, meaning that the probabilities of rolling any particular number are all the same.

Discrete Uniform Distribution: Discrete uniform distribution refers to a probability distribution where all outcomes have equal probabilities. In the case of a fair six-sided die, each number has an equal probability of being rolled.

Expected Value: Expected value is the mean or average outcome that can be expected over many repetitions in a random experiment or situation. For example, if you roll a fair six-sided die multiple times and calculate the average result, it would converge towards the expected value.

Sample Space: Sample space refers to the set of all possible outcomes in an experiment or situation. For a fair six-sided die, the sample space would be {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} since those are all possible numbers that could be rolled.
