Q1) Assume that probability distribution of random variable x can be explained by formula

P(X) = X / 15 For each of the values X= 1,2,3,4 and 5

For example, then, p(X=2)=p(2)=2/15

a) Write out probability distribution of X.

b) Illustrate that probability distribution of X satisfies properties of a discrete probability distribution.

c) Compute mean of X.

d) Compute variance, σ²_x and the standard deviation σ_x
