M1 L2 Mean Variance and SD of Discrete Probability Distribution

This document discusses computing measures of central tendency and dispersion for discrete probability distributions. It covers calculating the mean, variance, and standard deviation of a discrete random variable. Steps for finding the mean include constructing a probability distribution table, multiplying each value by its probability, and adding the results. Examples are provided to demonstrate finding the average number of patients a surgeon operates on per day using a probability distribution.

STEPS IN COMPUTING THE MEAN OF A DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION


Example:

Surgery Patients
The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 patients in any day are 0.15, 0.10. 0.20, 0.25 and
0.30 respectively. Find the average number of patients that a surgeon operates on a day.
Solution:
Step 1. Construct the probability distribution for the random variable X representing the number of spots that
would appear. Solution:
