Consider the sample space {a,b,c,d,e} with probabilities, respectively, .1,.2,.3,.2,.2. Verify that this is a probability space. The random variable X is given by X(a)=1, X(b)=2, X(c)=3. X(d)=4 and X(e)=5. Compute the expected value and variance of X. Let X2 be two iterations of X, addeed, independently. Write down an appropriate probability space for this and compute the expected value and variance of X2 two different ways- directly from the probability space, and also by using our theorems, (If you think of X as the outcome of some game, then X2 is the result of playing the game twice, independently.)

Oxygen demand is a term biologists use to describe the oxygen needed by fish and other aquatic organisms for survival. The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of a wetland area. In this wetland environment, the mean oxygen demand was u = 9.3 mg/L with 95% of the data ranging from 6.7 mg/L to 11.9 mg/L. Let x be a random variable that represents oxygen demand in this wetland environment. Assume x has a probability distribution that is approximately normal. In USE SALT (a) Use the 95% data range to estimate the standard deviation for oxygen demand. (b) An oxygen demand below 8 indicates that some organisms in the wetland environment may be dying. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will fall below mg/L? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) A high oxygen demand can also indicate trouble. An oxygen demand above 12 may indicate an overabundance of organisms that endanger some types of plant life. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will exceed…
