Answer #1

solution:-

standard deviation formula σ = sqrt(∑x^2⋅p(x)−μ^2)

=> ∑x^2⋅p(x) = (((-7)^2*0.2) + ((-6)^2*0.1) + ((-5)^2*0.2) + ((-4)^2*0.2) + ((-3)^2*0.3))
  
= 24.3

=> μ = ((-7*0.2) + (-6*0.1) + (-5*0.2) + (-4*0.2) + (-3*0.3))

= - 4.7

=> σ = sqrt(∑x^2⋅p(x)−μ^2)
  
= sqrt(24.3 - (-4.7)^2)

= 1.5
