Part 2
The attendence records (abscences) of 20 students in a class were recorded due to sickness. Here are
the results:
0, 3, 2, 2, 6, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1,
1, 0, 4, 0, 0, 4
c) Find the mean number of days lost
d) Find the variance of days lost
Assume each observation occurs with a probability of 1/20 - p(X) = 1/N
Use the example I used in class (page 25 of class notes) as a template for how to create the table below.
e) Create a table to calculate the mean and variance using the following formulaes:
$M = E[X] = \sum x \cdot prob(x)$
$\sigma^2 = E[x^2] - M^2$
