In this video, Jamie receives a die for her birthday and rolls it 500 times to ensure its fairness. She calculates the expected value of the sum of 20 rolls to be 67.4. However, two values from her data table are washed away. The video guides viewers through calculating the expected value of a single roll, setting up equations, and solving them to find the missing frequencies of the die rolls.
