QUESTION #2
Consider the probability distribution shown below.
x 0 1 2
P(x) 0.25 0.30 0.45
Compute the expected value of the distribution.
Compute the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your answer to four decimal places.
QUESTION #3
A particular lake is known to be one of the best places to catch a certain type of fish. In this table, x = number of fish caught in a 6-hour period. The percentage data are the percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore.
x 0 1 2 3 4 or more
% 43% 34% 12% 10% 1%
(b) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period. Round your answer to two decimal places.
(c) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches two or more fish in a 6-hour period. Round your answer to two decimal places.
(d) Compute μ, the expected value of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round 4 or more to 4). Round your answer to two decimal places.
μ = fish
(e) Compute σ, the standard deviation of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round 4 or more to 4). Round your answer to three decimal places.
σ = fish
