a) Add up all the probabilities where
:
b) The expected value is
Since X is the number of absent students on Monday, the expectation E[X] is the number of students you can expect to be absent on average on any given Monday. According to the distribution, you can expect around 3 students to be consistently absent.
c) The variance is
where
So the variance is
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:
d) Since is a linear combination of
, computing the expectation and variance of Y is easy:
e) The covariance of X and Y is
We have
so
Then the covariance is
f) Dividing the covariance by the variance of X gives
