4.45 Consider the probability distributions shown here: x 0 1 p(x) .3 .4 23 y 0 1 21 p(y) .1 .8 .1 a. Use your intuition to find the mean for each distribu- tion. How did you arrive at your choice? b. Which distribution appears to be more variable? Why? c. Calculate μ and 2 for each distribution. Compare these answers with your answers in parts a and b.
