Helene Claimed That the Expected Value When Rolling a Fair

question 37

Essay

Helene claimed that the expected value when rolling a fair die was 3.5. Steve said that wasn't possible. He said that the expected value was the most likely value in a single roll of
the die, and since it wasn't possible for a die to turn up with a value of 3.5, the expected value
couldn't possibly be 3.5. Who is right?
