expected value (mean of X)

1

Standard deviation: 1. Over many repetitions, X averages about 1 per trial.

Steps

  1. 1.multiply each outcome by its probability: (0)(0.4) + (1)(0.3) + (2)(0.2) + (3)(0.1)
  2. 2.mean = 0 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1
  3. 3.squared deviations times probability: (0 - 1)^2(0.4) + (1 - 1)^2(0.3) + (2 - 1)^2(0.2) + (3 - 1)^2(0.1)
  4. 4.variance = 1
  5. 5.standard deviation = sqrt(1) = 1
