- Two cards drawn without replacement from 52 cards. Find P(both aces).
Show Solution
P = 452 x 351 = 122652 = 1221 - A random variable X has P(0)=0.2, P(1)=0.3, P(2)=0.4, P(3)=0.1. Find mean and variance.
Show Solution
Mean μ = 0(0.2)+1(0.3)+2(0.4)+3(0.1) = 1.4\nE(X2) = 0+1(0.3)+4(0.4)+9(0.1) = 2.8\nVar = E(X2) - μ^2 = 2.8 - 1.96 = 0.84
