Suppose a sitcom is filmed on set between zero and five days per week. The following table shows the probabilities of the
sitcom being filmed zero, one, two, three, four, or five days in a week.
Ax)
0.14844
1
0.15625
2
0.23756
3
0.16222
4
0.16512
5
0.13041
The expected number of days the sitcom will be filmed in one week, u, is 2.43056. Use the formula below to calculate the
variance, o?, of the number days the sitcom films, x, where P(x) is the probability of the sitcom filming for a particular
number of days.
