[censored] works.

Re: A DIE IS ROLLED 19 TIMES $10 TO CORRECT ANSWER
 

mean = 19/6

variance = 19*5/6/6

standard deviation = sqrt (variance)

sd = 1.62

Re: A DIE IS ROLLED 19 TIMES $10 TO CORRECT ANSWER
 

ie.

sd = sqrt(npq)

where
n=19
p=1/6
q=5/6

Re: A DIE IS ROLLED 19 TIMES $10 TO CORRECT ANSWER
 

this is a binomial distribution so sd = sqrt(np(1-p))

p = 1/6
n = 19

sd = 1.624

e: the answer above is incorrect and tells you the variance and not the sd
