Can someone help explain this to me. Perhaps I'm just overthinking\looking things, but on the wikipedia page it also gives the die as an example. However it gives two dice as an example of NON uniform distribution. How is this so? To quote the page "If two dice are thrown and their values added, the resulting distribution is no longer uniform since not all sums have equal probability."
+GGGJJJay sum showing on the die, show two ones means the sum is 2, say you get 2 and 3 sum is 5 but getting 3 and 2 or 4 and 1 or 1 and 4 also totals 5, so the probability of sum 2 = 1/36 is not equal to sum 5 = 4/36
Hope the below explanation clears things up even though I am 6 years late! If two dice are thrown, the possible sum of their values are 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, and 12. A total of 36 possible values. Here, we can easily calculate that the values have different probabilities. For example, P(2) = 1/36 P(3) = 2/36 = 1/18 P(7) = 6/36 = 1/6 P(10) = 3/36 = 1/12 Therefore, the above example doesn't qualify for Discrete Uniform Distribution.
Your not special at all for that. It is considered spam and causes more spam. Being first makes you nothing special, so do something real to make yourself special, because nobody is going to bother looking at this comment.
