(A) it is impossible for the mean score to be 8 because the mean is the average and there is no 8 even on the table or on an ordinary die numbered 1-6, therefore You cannot get an average of 8 if there is no existence of an 8 on the die or in the score.
(B) To get the mean of the score, you should list the numbers and put how many numbers the frequency is. (Example: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1.) because on the chart it says the 1 has a frequency of 7. So your list should look like this:
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6
So then you add them all up:
The 1’s=7
The 2’s=10
The 3’s=12
The 4’s=16
The 5’s=30
The 6’s=24
Then you get a grand total of 99, then you divide for how many numbers you had in your list which is 30, then you divide 99 by 30 (99/30=x) and when you do the math x should equal 3.3, so the mean of the scores is 3.3.
