a florist determines the probabilities for the number of flower arrangements they deliver each day. x 19 20 21 22 23 p ( x ) 0.21 0.23 0.30 0.13 0.13 find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the distribution rounded to 4 decimal places.

Sagot :

For the given distribution the mean is 20.74  , the variance is  1.652   and the standard deviation is 1.2853   .

In the question ,

probabilities are given ,

the mean is given by the formula,

mean = [tex]\sum[/tex]x*p(x) ,

we get ,

mean = 19*0.21 + 20*0.23 + 21*0.30 + 22*0.13 + 23*0.13

= 3.99 + 4.6 + 6.3 + 2.86 + 2.99

= 20.74

For calculating the Variance we need to subtract the mean for every value x, then we square the result and multiply it by the respectively probability .

19 - 20.74 = -1.74 = (-1.74)²× 0.21 = 0.6357

20 - 20.74 = -0.74 = (-0.74)²× 0.23 = 0.1259

21 - 20.74 = 0.26 = (0.26)²× 0.30 = 0.0202

22 - 20.74 = 1.26 = (1.26)²× 0.13 = 0.2063

23 - 20.74 = 2.26 = (2.26)²× 0.13 = 0.6639

The variance = 0.6357 + 0.1259 + 0.0202 + 0.2063 + 0.6639

= 1.652

the standard deviation = √variance

= √1.652

= 1.2853

Therefore , the values are mean is 20.74  , the variance is 1.652  and standard deviation is 1.2853 .
