Answer to Problem 15E
The standard deviation is 1.1358.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The probability distribution is:
Value of X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Probability | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.1 |
Formula used:
The formula to compute the standard deviation is:
Calculation:
The mean can be calculated as:
The standard deviation is calculated as follows:
Thus, the standard deviation is 1.1358.
Interpretation:
The number nonword error on an average 1.1358 away from the mean.
