The mean of the probability distribution is given by the expected value given by

E(x)=\sum xp(x) \\  \\ =0(0.53)+1(0.40)+2(0.05)+3(0.02) \\  \\ =0.40+0.10+0.06=0.56

The variance of the probability distribution is given by

Var(x)=(x-\bar{x})^2p(x) \\  \\ =(0-0.56)^2(0.53)+(1-0.56)^2(0.40)+(2-0.56)^2(0.05)\\+(3-0.56)^2(0.02) \\  \\ =(-0.56)^2(0.53)+0.44^2(0.40)+1.44^2(0.05)+2.44^2(0.02) \\  \\ =0.3136(0.53)+0.1936(0.40)+2.0736(0.05)+5.9536(0.02) \\  \\ =0.166208+0.07744+0.10368+0.119072=0.4664

The standard deviation is given by

\sigma(x)=\sqrt{Var(x)} \\  \\ =\sqrt{0.4664}=0.683

Joyce karen and paula are starters on their school basketball team how many different groups of three can be chosen for a newspa
vekshin1

The combination shows that the different groups of three that can be chosen for a newspaper photo is 10.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

From the information, Joyce, Karen and Paula are starters on their school basketball team.

The information is to illustrate the different groups of three that can be chosen for a newspaper photo.

This will be:

= 5!/3!(5 - 3)!

= 5!/3!2!

= (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)/(3 × 2 × 2)

= 20/2

= 10

There will be 10 groups.
