P(X = xi) |
0.20 0.30 0.40 0.10 |
What is the standard deviation of X?
A |
0.840 |
|
B |
0.090 |
|
C |
1.345 |
|
D |
0.917 |
Solution:
x | P(x) | x * P(x) | x2 * P(x) |
0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.3 |
2 | 0.4 | 0.8 | 1.6 |
3 | 0.1 | 0.3 | 0.9 |
Sum | 1 | 1.4 | 2.8 |
Mean = X * P(X)
= 1.4
Standard deviation =
=X 2 * P(X) - 2
= 2.8 - (1.4)2 = 0.84
Standard deviation = = 0.917
option D is correct
