Stats and Prob

The document discusses calculating the mean, variance, and standard deviation of discrete random variables. It provides examples of finding these values from probability distributions of outcomes from rolling a die and a customer's supermarket purchases. Formulas for computing mean, variance, and standard deviation are presented.

Today's Lesson
• Illustrating the mean and
variance of a discrete random
variable
What do you think?
The mean of a discrete random variable by utilizing probabilities
from its dispersion, as follows.
1. The mean is considered as a measure of the central location“ a random variable. It is
the weighted average of the values that random variable X can take, with weights provided
by a probability distribution.
2. The Expected Value or Mean Value of a discrete random
variable x can be computed by multiplying each possible X
Value by the probability of observing that value and then adding the resulting quantities.
Symbolically,
Example 1. Construct a probability distribution for rolling

single die. Find the Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation

=21/6
= 3.5
The variance for a random variable of a probability distribution
is

𝜎 = 2.92
P(X)

𝜎 = 2.92
Example no. 2
Find the Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation of the
probability distribution

Outcome,X 2 4 6 8

P(x) 2/9 5/9 1/9 4/9


The variance for a random variable distribution is
