    Uploaded by

    John Allen Perez
    Week 2 of the statistics and probability class covered calculating the variance and standard deviation of a discrete random variable. The objectives were to calculate the variance of a discrete random variable, interpret the variance of a discrete random variable, solve problems involving the variance of probability distributions, and appreciate the application of variance to discrete random variables in real life. An example was provided to illustrate how to calculate the variance and standard deviation of a probability distribution involving the number of cars sold per day.

    Variance of a discrete Standard deviation of


    random variable a random variable
    Example 1:
    The number of cars sold per day at a local car dealership,
    Solution:
    along with its corresponding probabilities, is shown in the
    succeeding table. Compute the variance and standard
    deviation of the probability distribution by following the given
    steps.
    Number of Cars Sold X Probability P(x)

    0 10%

    1 20%

    2 30%

    3 20%

    4 20%
    Solution:
    Steps:
    Solution:
    1.Find the mean of the probability distribution using
    the formula 𝜇 = σ 𝑥𝑃(𝑥)
    2. Subtract the mean from each value of the random
    variable X
    3. Square the results obtained in Step 2
    Steps:
    4. Multiply the results obtained in Step 3 by the
    Solution:
    corresponding probability
    5. Get the sum of the results obtained in Step 4. The
    result is the value of the variance (𝜎 2 ) . The formula
    is: 𝜎 2 =σ 𝑥 − 𝜇 2 𝑃(𝑥)
    To solve for Standard Deviation
    𝜎= σ 𝑥 − 𝜇 2 𝑃(𝑥)
