Suppose that a college determines the following distribution for X = number of courses taken by full-time students this semester. 3 4 5 6 7 0.08 0.12 0.55 0.21 0.04 What is the mean number, E(X) of courses taken by full-time students? Round the answer to two decimal places. E(X) = courses per student

'Consider randomly selecting a student who is among the 14,000 registered for the current semester in a college: Let x be the number of courses the selected student is taking, and suppose that x has the following probability distribution: 2 5 f(x) 0.02 0.01 0.20 0.17 0.39 0.20 0.01 Find the variance of X'

Coffee with Meals A researcher wishes to determine the number of cups of coffee a customer drinks with an evening meal at a restaurant. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the distribution. $$ \begin{array}{c|cccc}{\underline{X}} & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \\ \hline P(X) & {0.31} & {0.42} & {0.21} & {0.04} & {0.02}\end{array} $$
