When a fair dice is thrown there are total 6 possible outcomes.

∵ X denote 1 or 3 according as an odd or an even number appears.

P(appearing of even number on a die) = 3/6 [favourable outcomes {2,4,6}]

P(appearing of an odd number on a die) = 3/6 [favourable outcomes {1,4,3}]

P(X=1) = 3/6 = 1/2

P(X=3) = 3/6 = 1/2

Now we have p_i and x_i.

Let’s proceed to find mean and variance.

Mean of any probability distribution is given by Mean = ∑x_ip_i

Variance is given by:

Variance = ∑ x_i²p_i – (∑x_ip_i)²

∴ first we need to find the products i.e. p_ix_i and p_ix_i² and add them to get mean and apply the above formula to get the variance.

Following table gives the required products :
