DON’T BE SO MEAN BECAUSE I VARY

We use the term ‘average’ frequently in all sorts of everyday contexts. Let us take for example,
we might say ‘I’m having an average income today’, meaning our income is neither particularly good nor
bad, it is about normal. Average may also refer to people, objects and other things.
The term 'average' refers to the ‘middle’ or ‘central’ point. When used in mathematics, the term
refers to a number that is a typical representation of a group of numbers (or data set). The most widely
used method of calculating an average is the ‘mean’. The other term use for the mean is expected value.
It is denoted by E( X) .
Now, let’s proceed to the two measures of spread of the random variable in the probability
distribution. We know that variance is a measure of how spread out a data set is. It is calculated as the
average squared deviation of each number from the mean of a data set. Taking the square root of the

variance gives us the units used in the original scale and this is the standard deviation.
Standard deviation is the measure of spread most commonly used in statistical practice when the
mean is used to calculate central tendency. Thus, it measures the spread around the mean. Since it
has close links with the mean, standard deviation can be greatly affected if the mean gives a poor
measure of central tendency.
COVID – 19 Infected Persons in a Barangay
The number of persons infected per day in a barangay, along with its corresponding probabilities is
shown in the table below. Compute the variance and the standard deviation of the probability
distribution.

the random variable X by its corresponding probability, get the sum of the results obtained in Step 2, Subtract the
square of the mean from the results obtained in step 3 to get the variance. So, the formula for the variance of the
