Step-2

Title: Mean and variance of discrete random variable

Grade: 9-a Lesson: S4-L2

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

The probabilities that a batch of 4 computers will contain 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 defective computers are 0.45, 0.39, 0.13, 0.01 and 0.0010, respectively. What is the standard deviation for the probability distribution.?

2

Formula:

Mean E(X) = \$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i p_i(x)\$

3

Step

Finding the mean

E(X) = (0×0.45) + (1×0.39) + (2×0.13) + (3×0.01) + (4×0.0010)

4

Step

Mean

E(X) = 0.684

5

Formula:

Variance \$VAR(X) = E(X^2) - (E(X))^2\$

6

Step

Calculating \$E(X^2)\$

\$((0^2)×0.45) + ((1^2)×0.39) + ((2^2)×0.13) + ((3^2)×0.01) + ((4^2)×0.0010)\$

7

Step

After simplification

\$E(X^2)\$ = 1.016

8

Step

Substitute \$E(X^2)\$ = 1.016,E(X) = 0.684 in VAR(X)

9

Step

VAR(X)

\$1.016 - 0.684^2\$

10

Step

Simplification

\$1.016 - 0.4678\$

11

Step

After simplification

VAR(X) = 0.55

12

Step

Mean and variance

E(X) = 0.684,VAR(X) = 0.55
