Parameters of an unknown distributed random integer generator
$begingroup$
Let's say I have random integer generator generating values in the interval $[0,n]$ with $n$ finite.
The distribution is unknown.
I draw $k$ samples from my RNG, what can I say about the mean, median and variance? Can I compute confidence intervals?
What if $n$ is infinite?
For example:
Any side of a fair die has a probability of $frac{1}{6}$ to be rolled. Let's say I am given a (potentially) unfair die and I roll the die $k$ times. What can I conclude about the mean, variance and median?
