(1) The probability distribution is:
x = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
with the corresponding probabilities being
P(x) = 1/36, 1/18, 1/12, 1/9, 5/36, 1/6, 5/36, 1/9, 1/12, 1/18, 1/36
(a) Mean = sum of x * P(x)
= 2(1/36) + 3(1/18) + 4(1/12) + 5(1/9) + 6(5/36) + 7(1/6) + 8(5/36) + 9(1/9) + 10(1/12) + 11(1/18) + 12(1/36) = ...
