उत्तर
Let x be the random variable taking the values 3, 4, 5
E(x) = Σpixi
= (0.1 × 3) + (0.1 × 4) + (0.2 × 5)
= 0.3 + 0.4 + 1.0
E(x) = 1.7
E(x2) = Σpixi2
= (0.1 × 32) + (0.1 × 42) + (0.2 × 52)
= (0.1 × 9) + (0.1 × 16) + (0.2 × 25)
E(x2) = 7.5
Var(x) = E(x2) – (E(x)]2
= 7.5 – (1.7)2
= 7.5 – 2.89
Var(x) = 4.61
Standard deviation (S.D) = `sqrt("var"(x))`
= `sqrt(4.61)`
σ = 2.15
