Answer #1

Given probability distribution is,

X P(X) X * P(X) X2 * P(X)
1 0.05 0.05 0.05
2 0.05 0.10 0.20
3 0.10 0.30 0.90
4 0.10 0.40 1.60
5 0.15 0.75 3.75
6 0.15 0.90 5.40
7 0.25 1.75 12.25
8 0.15 1.20 9.60
X * P(X) 5.45 X2 * P(X) = 33.75

Therefore, expected value of X is,

E(X)= 〉 X*, P(X)= 5.45

Standard deviation of X is,

SD(X)-v Σ Χ2 * P(X)-E(X)]-V33.75-15.45]-2.0118
