The table below shows the probability distribution of the random variable X. a. Find the mean of the random variable. b. Obtain the standard deviation ̃ of the random variable. x | 1 | 2 | 3 P(X=x) | 0.4 | 0.1 | 0.5 a. Find the mean of the random variable. μ = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Obtain the standard deviation σ of the random variable. σ = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
