400
Find the mean Data Frequency 1 10 2 12 3 13
What is... Data Frequency P(X) X*P(X) 1 10 10/35=0.28 1*0.28=0.28 2 12 12/35=0.34 2*0.34=0.68 3 13 13/35=0.37 3*0.37=0.74 the sum of the x*P(x) = 1.70

Finish the Probability Distribution 1 IIII 2 II 3 III 4 I 5 I
What is.... 1 IIII 4/11=0.36 2 II 2/11=0.18 3 III 3/11=0.27 4 I 1/11=0.09 5 I 1/11=0.09 sum of frequency = 11 sum of probability = 1.00
500
Find the variance and standard deviation Data Frequency P(X) X*P(X) (x-u)^2 1 10 10/35=0.28 1*0.28=0.28 2 12 12/35=0.34 2*0.34=0.68 3 13 13/35=0.37 3*0.37=0.74 the sum of the x*P(x) = 1.70
What is.... Data Frequency P(X) X*P(X) (x-u)^2 1 10 10/35=0.28 1*0.28=0.28 (1-1.70)^2 2 12 12/35=0.34 2*0.34=0.68 (2-1.70)^2 3 13 13/35=0.37 3*0.37=0.74 (3-1.70)^2 the sum of the x*P(x) = 1.70 variance = 0.19+1.017+1.93 = 3.137 standard deviation = the square root of 3.137 = 1.821
