Answer:

E(x) = 4.500 --- Expected value

SD(x) = 2.872 --- Standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}x & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4}& {5} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {9} \ \\ P(X=x) & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}}& {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} & {\frac{1}{10}} \ \end{array}

Solving (a): Expected value

This is calculated using:

E(x) = \sum\limits^{9}_{i=0} x_i * P(X = x_i)

Since they all have the same probability, the formula becomes:

E(x) = \frac{1}{10}\sum\limits^{9}_{i=0} x_i

E(x) = \frac{1}{10}(0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)

E(x) = \frac{1}{10}*45

E(x) = \frac{45}{10}

E(x) = 4.500

Solving (b): Standard Deviation

First, we calculate the variance using

Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

In (a), we have:

E(x) = 4.500

E(x^2) is calculated as:

E(x^2) = \sum\limits^{9}_{i=0} x_i^2 * P(X = x_i)

Since they all have the same probability, the formula becomes:

E(x^2) = \frac{1}{10}\sum\limits^{9}_{i=0} x_i^2

So, we have:

E(x^2) = \frac{1}{10}(0^2+1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2+7^2+8^2+9^2)

Using a calculator

E(x^2) = \frac{1}{10}(285)

E(x^2) = 28.5

So:

Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

Var(x) = 28.5 - 4.5^2

Var(x) = 28.5 - 20.25

Var(x) = 8.25

The standard deviation is then calculated as:

SD(x) = \sqrt{Var(x)}

SD(x) = \sqrt{8.25}

SD(x) = 2.872 ---- approximated
