Suppose you play a game that you can only either win or lose. The probability that you win any game is 65%, and the probability that you lose is 35%. Each game you play is independent. Let X is the number of wins If you play the game 20 times. Find the variance of X

The range of the random variable X is {30, 1, 2, 3, a} , where a is unknown. If each value is equally likely and the mean of X is 6, determine a. Find the variance of X
Calculate the variance of 13, 25, and 16, using the sum of squares formula (also known as the shortcut formula) for sample variance, where x represents the data value and n is the number of values. (E x)* Ex? variance = п — 1 Step 1. Determine the sum of squares of the three values. Ex = Step 2. Determine the square of the sum of the three values. (Ex)° = Step 3. Divide the result in Step 2 by n. (Ex)² Step 4. Subtřact the result in Step 3 from the result in Step 1. (Ex) Ex? - n Step 5. Divide the result in Step 4 by n – 1. Ex? - (Ex)? п — 1
Suppose that you have a hat that contains slips of paper. Each slip of paper has a single number from 1-5 written on it. There are as many slips of paper with a given number as the square of that number, so 16 slips with the number 4, 9 slips with the number 3, and so on. A person is selected to draw a number at random from the hat. Let the random variable X = the number drawn from the hat. Find the mean and the variance of X
The probabilities that fast – food restaurant sells 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 burgers daily are 0.20, 0.30, 0.25, 0.15, 0.10 respectively. Let A be the number of burgers that a fast – food restaurant sells. What is the variance of A?
use Python or Matlab to solve the problem: A company is producing christmas light strings containing 15 small bulbs. Suppose the success or failure of a bulb is independent of the success or failure of other bulbs and the probability that a bulb is lightning properly is 0.85. When you order a christmas light string, what is the probability of at most 2 of those small bulbs are not lightning properly. Find the mean and the variance of bulbs in a string that are not lightning properly.
