The answer is D. 2 x 8= 16
For the given probability mass function of X, the mean is 3.5 and the standard deviation is 1.708.
- A discrete random variable X's probability mass function (PMF) is a function over its sample space that estimates the likelihood that X will have a given value. f(x)=P[X=x].
- The total of all potential values for a random variable X, weighted by their relative probabilities, is known as the mean (or expected value E[X]) of that variable.
- Mean(μ) = 1(1/6) + 2(1/6) + 3(1/6) + 4(1/6) + 5(1/6) + 6(1/6).
- Mean(μ) = (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6
- Mean(μ) = 21/6
- Mean(μ) = 3.5
- The square root of the variance of a random variable, sample, statistical population, data collection, or probability distribution represents its standard deviation. It is denoted by 'σ'.
- A random variable's variance (or Var[X]) is a measurement of the range of potential values. It is, by definition, the squared expectation of the distance between X and μ. It is denoted by 'σ²'.
- σ² = E[X²]−μ²
- σ² = [1²(1/6) + 2²(1/6) + 3²(1/6) + 4²(1/6) + 5²(1/6) + 6²(1/6)] - (3.5)²
- σ² = [(1² + 2²+ 3² + 4²+ 5²+ 6²)/6] - (3.5)²
- σ² = [(1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36)/6] - (3.5)²
- σ² = (91/6) - (3.5)²
- σ² = 15.167-12.25
- σ² = 2.917
- σ = √2.917
- Standard deviation (σ) = 1.708

The other family is traveling at 900 miles per day while your family is traveling at 950 miles per day. So your family is traveling faster.
The interquartile range is from Q1 to Q3 and to get this you have to subtract Q2 by Q3. The 10 units represent that only 10 units are fit in the given range.
