Answer: The standard deviation was calculated incorrectly.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The standard deviation measures the dispersion of the data values from the mean value.
It cannot be negative , because it is the square root of the variance .
We add all squared deviations from the data points away from the mean and (then divide it by the number of data values) to evaluate variance.
Since , any squared number cannot give a negative result.
⇒ Standard deviation cannot be negative.
⇒The standard deviation was calculated incorrectly.
Rest other things (given in options) can not be interpreted on the basis of given information.
Answer:
a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619
b) E(X) = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:
Find:
a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5
b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that
Solution:
- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.

- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:
E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )

E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]
E(X) = 1
1. y = 7
2. 0
3. m = -1
4. k = -4
5. x = -6
6. There is no solution for these equations.

4/8 is less full because it's only half compared to 4/6 which is 1.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Leaving leap years, a year contains 365 days.
For a group of 100 people, each person is independent of the other and probability of any day being his birthday has a chance of

a) Probability that exactly 3 people have same birthday = 
Each day is independent of the other
And hence no of days having exactly 3 persons birthday out of 100 persons is binomial with n = 365 and p = 
Expected value of days = np = 
b) Distinct birthdays is binomail with p =1/365 and n = 365
Hence
expected value = np =1
