Question

At a certain bakery, the price of each doughnut is $1.50. Let the random variable D represent the number of doughnuts a typical customer purchases each day. The expected value and variance of the probability distribution of D are 2.6 doughnuts and 3.6 (doughnuts)2 , respectively. Let the random variable P represent the price of the doughnuts that a typical customer purchases each day. Which of the following is the standard deviation, in dollars, of the probability distribution of P ? 1.5(3.6) 1.5(3.6) A 1.53.6−−−√ 1.53.6 B 1.5(3.6)−−−−−−√ 1.5(3.6) C 1.5(2.6) 1.5(2.6) D 1.52.6−−−√ 1.52.6 E

Answer 1

Answer: C ( square root of 1.5 x 3.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The price for the variance is 3.6 times 1.5. Standard deviation is the square root of variance, so the answer is the square root of 1.5 x 3.6.

Answer 2

Answer:

square root of 1.5(3.6)
