Task-Throw a dice 10 Times - tjm - Mar-14-2021

Write python to output the list of results from calculating the mean score from 10 throws of a 6 sided dice run 5 times.

So throw a dice 10 times and calculate the mean and repeat this 5 times resulting in a list/array of 5 numbers.

Any Ideas?

What is your plan? Have you figured out how you can "throw a dice" in Python?

Have you tried something like this?
This should work. If you need clarification for how anything works, let me know.
#import the random library for dice roll
import random

#create the list
lst = []

#5 repetitions
for i in range(5):
    #roll the die and calculate the mean
    total = 0
    for r in range(10):
        roll = (random.randint(1,6))
        total += roll
    mean = total/10
    #add the mean to the list
    lst.append(mean)
print(lst)

Idea should be something like 'calculate average of 10 throws of 6-sided dice 5 times', implementation it can be:

from statistics import mean
from random import randrange

results = [mean(randrange(1, 7) for i in range(10)) for i in range(5)]
