All answers should be complete sentences.

1. When rolling a die, is this an example of a discrete or continuous random variable? Explain your reasoning.

It is a discrete since rolling a die, we only have a 1/6 chances when rolling a number. Besides, it is always a concrete number it is never a 1.0001 chances, 1.00000001, or 1.00001, or anything between.|

2. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution created by rolling a die. Either show work or explain how your answer was calculated.
