If we take \(8\) identical slips of paper and write the number \(0\) on one of them, the number \(1\) on three of the slips, the number \(2\) on three of the slips and the number \(3\) on one of the slips. These slips are folded, put in a box and roughly mixed. One slip is drawn at random from the box. If \(X\) is the random variable denoting the number written on the drawn slip, the variance of \(X\) is:

  1. A \(1/4\)
  2. B \(3/4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(3/2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3/4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(X=0)=\frac{1}{8}, P(X=1)=\frac{3}{8}, P(X=2)=\frac{3}{8}, P(X=3)=\frac{1}{8}\) \(E[X] = 0\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) + 1\left(\frac{3}{8}\right) + 2\left(\frac{3}{8}\right) + 3\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) = \frac{0+3+6+3}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}\)…
