1

Problem

Determine the mean and variance of the random variable X having the following probability distribution.?

2

Formula:

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

3

Step

Finding the mean

E(X) = (5×0.10) + (6×0.30) + (7×0.45) + (8×0.15)

4

Step

Mean

E(X) = 6.65

5

Formula:

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

6

Step

Calculating \$E(X^2)\$

\$((5^2)×0.10) + ((6^2)×0.30) + ((7^2)×0.45) + ((8^2)×0.15)\$

7

Step

After simplification

\$E(X^2)\$ = 44.95

8

Step

Substitute \$E(X^2)\$ = 44.95,E(X) = 6.65 in VAR(X)

9

Step

VAR(X)

\$44.95 - 6.65^2\$

10

Step

Simplification

\$44.95 - 44.225\$

11

Step

After simplification

VAR(X) = 0.72

12

Step

Mean and variance

E(X) = 6.65,VAR(X) = 0.72
