Abstract: The expected range of a sample of n+1 normally distributed variables is known to be related to the mean width of a regular n-simplex. We show that the expected maximum mu_n of a sample of n half-normally distributed variables is related to the mean width of a regular n-crosspolytope. Both of these relations have mean square counterparts. An expression for mu_5 is found and is believed to be new.
