If I move to a more complex variable, such as a six-sided die, how many rolls of the die do I need to have confidence that the observed mean is within some guardband of the expected mean of 3.5?
-
If I make it two or more die, how many additional rolls are required to converge on the expected mean, again within a specific guardband?
-
Since signal rates can vary, an extra slice of time - the guardband - is inserted into the design to allow for signals to communicate without being perfectly aligned.
