What are the expected value, variance and standard deviation of the following probability distribution?
Number of Offices | Proportion of Students p(X) |
0 | 0.12 |
1 | 0.18 |
2 | 0.26 |
3 | 0.24 |
4 | 0.13 |
5 | 0.07 |
E(X) | |
Var(X) |
Number of Offices (X) | P(X) | X * P(X) | X2 * P(X) of |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0.12 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0.18 | 0.18 | 0.18 |
2 | 0.26 | 0.52 | 1.04 |
3 | 0.24 | 0.72 | 2.16 |
4 | 0.13 | 0.52 | 2.08 |
5 | 0.07 | 0.35 | 1.75 |
Therefore, the expected value of X is,
Variance of X is,
Standard deviation of X is,
Hence, we get,
=> E(X) = 2.29
=> Var(X) = 1.9659
=> SD(X) = 1.4021
