Consider a discrete uniform random variable X which takes values in {1,2, ..., n-1}, where n=6. What is E[X2]? You Answered Correct Answer 11 margin of error +/- 0.001
Added by Amy M.
Step 1
X is a discrete uniform random variable taking values in the set {1, 2, ..., n-1} where n = 6. So, X takes values in {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} with equal probability. Show more…

If a random variable X is defined such that E[(X-1)^2]=11 and E[(X-2)^2]=6, find σ^2
Steven C.
Assume that a random variable X has a discrete uniform distribution, such that P [X = k] = 1/n for k = 0, 1, ..., n - 1. 1. Derive the expected value of X, that is: E [X] . 2. Derive the second moment of X, that is: E [X^2] . 3. Find the variance of X, that is: Var [X] . Use the formulas from Appendix A2: sum from k=1 to m of k = m(m+1)/2 and sum from k=1 to m of k^2 = m(m+1)(2m+1)/6.
