A pathological video game user (PVGU) is a video game user that averages 31 or more hours a week of gameplay. According to the article “Pathological Video Game Use among Youths: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study” (Pediatrics, Vol. 127, No. 2, pp. 319–329) by D. Gentile et al., in 2011, about 9% of children in grades 3–8 were PVGUs. Suppose that, today, five youths in grades 3–8 are randomly selected. Let X represent the number of youths who are PVGUs.

A pathological video game user (PVGU) is a video game user that averages 31 or more hours a week of gameplay. According to the article “Pathological Video Game Use among Youths: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study” (Pediatrics, Vol. 127, No. 2, pp. 319–329) by D. Gentile et al., in 2011, about 9% of children in grades 3–8 were PVGUs. Suppose that, today, five youths in grades 3–8 are randomly selected. Let X represent the number of youths who are PVGUs.

  1. n = 
  2. p = 
  3. 1 – p = 
  4. Prepare the probability distribution for the random variable X. Complete the following table. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

    X = x P(X=x)
    0  
    1  
    2  
    3  
    4  
    5  
      ∑=1.0000∑=1.0000 


  5. Calculate the probability that EXACTLY three youths are PVGUs. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

P(X = 3) = 

  1. Calculate the probability that AT LEAST two youths are PVGUs. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

P(X ≥ 2) = 

  1. Calculate the probability that AT MOST three youths are PVGUs. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

P(X ≤ 3) = 

  1. Calculate the probability that BETWEEN two and four youths are PVGUs. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

P(2 < X < 4) = 

  1. Calculate the probability that BETWEEN two and four (INCLUSIVE) youths are PVGUs. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

P(2 ≤ X ≤ 4) = 

  1. Calculate the mean of the random variable X. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

E(X) = µ = 

  1. Calculate the variance of the random variable X. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

σ2 = 

  1. Calculate the standard deviation of the random variable X. Round your answers to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.XXXX or .XXXX.

σ =
