Answer:
1.55
2.66
1.631
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
x: 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(x): .27 .28 .20 .15 .08 .02
The expected mean, E(X) = Σ(x*p(x))
E(X) = (0*0.27)+(1*0.28)+(2*0.20)+(3*0.15)+(4*0.08)+(5*0.02)
E(X) = 1.55
The expected variance :
Σx²*p(x) – E(X)
(0^2*0.27)+(1^2*0.28)+(2^2*0.20)+(3^2*0.15)+(4^2*0.08)+(5^2*0.02) – 1.55
4.21 – 1.55 = 2.66
The standard deviation :
√variance = √2.66 = 1.631
