The histogram shows the distribution of stops for red traffi
The histogram shows the distribution of stops for red traffic lights a commuter must pass through on her way to work. Use the histogram to find the mean, variance, standard deviation, and expected value of the probability The mean is [ (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The variance is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The standard deviation is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The expected value is J (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Solution
E(X)=mean =x*f(x)
= 0*0.04+1*0.25+2*0.36+3*0.14+4*0.14+5*0.07
=2.3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E(x^2) =0*0.04+1*0.25+2^2*0.36+3^2*0.14+4^2*0.14+5^2*0.07 = 6.94
Variance= E(X^2) - [E(x)]^2
= 6.94 -2.3^2
=1.65
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
standard deviation =sqrt(1.65) =1.2845
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
expected value= 2.3
