- What Are the Expected Value and Standard Deviation of Dice Rolls?For a fair six-sided die, the expected roll is 3.5 and the standard deviation is about 1.708; for n independent rolls, use the scaling rules.
- What Is the Standard Deviation of a Dice Roll?The standard deviation of one fair six-sided die is √(35/12) ≈ 1.708. See the derivation, the formula for any die, and how it scales for sums and averages.
