Question

In the following table, ( X ) represents the number of books required for classes at a university. egin{tabular}{|l|l|} hline( x ) & ( P(X) ) \ hline 0 & 0.30 \ hline 1 & 0.25 \ hline 2 & 0.25 \ hline 3 & 0.10 \ hline 4 & 0.10 \ hline end{tabular} How would the standard deviation and variance change if only ( 20 % ) of the students required two books, but now ( 5 % ) of the students require five books (with all other categories unchanged)?

Step 1

Original probabilities: \[ \begin{array}{cc} X & P(X) \\ 0 & 0.30 \\ 1 & 0.25 \\ 2 & 0.25 \\ 3 & 0.10 \\ 4 & 0.10 \\ \end{array} \] New probabilities: \[ \begin{array}{cc} X & P(X) \\ 0 & 0.30 \\ 1 & 0.25 \\ 2 & 0.20 \\ 3 & 0.10 \\ 4 & 0.10 \\ 5 & 0.05 Show more…
