Consider the following probability distribution:
xi= 0, 1, 2, 3
P(X=xi)= 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.7
The expected value and standard deviation is?
Solution :
Expected value E(x) = X * P(Xi)
= 0 * 0.1+ 1 *0.1 + 2 *0.1 + 3 *0.7
= ( 0+ 0.1 + 0.2+ 2.1)
E(x)= 2.4
Standard deviation =
=X 2 * P(Xi) - E(x) 2
= [ 02 *0.1+ 12 *0.1 + 22 *0.1 + 32 *0.7] -2.42
= [( 0+0.1 +0.4+6.3 ) )]-5.76
= 6.8-5.76
=1.04
=1.0198
