Homework Answers
Answer #1
Solution,
| x | p(x) | x * p(x) | x2 * p(x) |
| 15 | 0.3 | 4.5 | 67.5 |
| 25 | 0.4 | 10 | 250 |
| 10 | 0.2 | 2 | 20 |
| 12 | 0.1 | 1.2 | 14.4 |
| Total | 1.00 | 17.7 | 351.9 |
mean = 
= 
x * p(x) = 17.7
variance = 
2 =
x2 * p(x) - (
)2
variance =
2 = 351.9 - ( 17.7)2
variance =
2 = 351.9 - 313.29
variance =
2 = 38.61
standard deviation =
= 
2 =
38.61 = 6.21
