Is there an error in what Scintill showed earlier to show an answer of exactly 3.8?

It looks like that is the case if you're looking at the discrete probability (the only options are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) as opposed to the continuous probability (you can pick any real number between 1 and 5). So I'd expect it to be close but not exactly the same.
