2 dice are rolled. Let X be the number on the first die, Y - on the second, and Z=X - Y. Find the expectation and standard deviation of Z.
X\Y | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
1 | 0 | -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -5 |
2 | 1 | 0 | -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 |
3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | -1 | -2 | -3 |
4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | -1 | -2 |
5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | -1 |
6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
V(X)=5.83-0^2=5.83
So standard deviation is
