X0123
P(X)0.20.10.30.4
The variance of \(X\) will be

  1. A 4.8
  2. B 1.29
  3. C 5.1
  4. D 4.9
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.29

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E(X) = (0 \cdot 0.2) + (1 \cdot 0.1) + (2 \cdot 0.3) + (3 \cdot 0.4) = 0 + 0.1 + 0.6 + 1.2 = 1.9 \) \( E(X^2) = (0^2 \cdot 0.2) + (1^2 \cdot 0.1) + (2^2 \cdot 0.3) + (3^2 \cdot 0.4) = 0 + 0.1 + 1.2 + 3.6 = 4.9 \)…
