Question

A ski resort claims that there is a 75% chance of snow on any given day in january and that snowfall happens independently from one day to the next. a family plans a four-day trip to this ski resort in january. let x represent the number of days it snows while the family is there. what are the mean and standard deviation of x? mu subscript x baseline = 1, sigma subscript x baseline = 1 mu subscript x baseline = 2, sigma subscript x baseline = 0.56 mu subscript x baseline = 3, sigma subscript x baseline = 0.75 mu subscript x baseline = 3, sigma subscript x baseline = 0.87

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the mean and the standard deviation of variable x are given as follows:

$\mu = 3, \sigma = 0.87$

What is the binomial probability distribution?

It is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

In this problem, we have that the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 0.75.

Hence the mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:

• E(X) = np = 4 x 0.75 = 3.

• $\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{4 \times 0.75 \times 0.25} = 0.87$
