Answer:
Mean=50.
standard deviation=50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the perfect score be 100.
The mean(average) of a data is given by: 
Here the number of data points are 100. out of which 50 attains a value 100,and 50 attains value 0.
so, sum of data points=50×100+50×0=5000.

Mean=50.
"Now the standard deviation of data points are calculated by firstly subtracting mean from every entry and then square the number and take it as new entry and calculate the mean of the new data entry and lastly taking the square root of this new mean".
Here if 50 is subtracted from each entry the new entry will have 50 entries as '50' and 50 entries as '-50'.
next on squaring we will have all the 100 entries as '2500'.
now the mean of these entries is: 
=2500
taking it's squareroot we have 
Hence, standard deviation=50.
Answer:
a) 
And replacing we got:

b) ![E(80Y^2) =80[ 0^2*0.45 +1^2*0.2 +2^2*0.3 +3^2*0.05]= 148](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20E%2880Y%5E2%29%20%3D80%5B%200%5E2%2A0.45%20%2B1%5E2%2A0.2%20%2B2%5E2%2A0.3%20%2B3%5E2%2A0.05%5D%3D%20148)
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
In statistics and probability analysis, the expected value "is calculated by multiplying each of the possible outcomes by the likelihood each outcome will occur and then summing all of those values".
The variance of a random variable Var(X) is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean of X, E(X).
And the standard deviation of a random variable X is just the square root of the variance.
Solution to the problem
Part a
We have the following distribution function:
Y 0 1 2 3
P(Y) 0.45 0.2 0.3 0.05
And we can calculate the expected value with the following formula:

And replacing we got:

Part b
For this case the new expected value would be given by:

And replacing we got
![E(80Y^2) =80[ 0^2*0.45 +1^2*0.2 +2^2*0.3 +3^2*0.05]= 148](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20E%2880Y%5E2%29%20%3D80%5B%200%5E2%2A0.45%20%2B1%5E2%2A0.2%20%2B2%5E2%2A0.3%20%2B3%5E2%2A0.05%5D%3D%20148)
The statement if TRUE.
There is no restriction on the coefficient of the polynomial, it can either be a fraction,a negative number of a positive number or even irrational number. It does not have any effect.
What matters is the exponent. The exponent must be a non-negative integer. Since in this case the exponent is positive, the expression will be a polynomial.
