TopicDiscrete Probability Distributions
TypeOne unknown from sum constraint only

2 The probability distribution for the discrete random variable \(W\) is given in the table.
\(w\)1234
\(\mathrm { P } ( W = w )\)0.250.36\(x\)\(x ^ { 2 }\)
  1. Show that \(\operatorname { Var } ( W ) = 0.8571\).
  2. Find \(\operatorname { Var } ( 3 W + 6 )\). In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
    The random variable \(T\) has a binomial distribution. It is known that \(\mathrm { E } ( T ) = 5.625\) and the standard deviation of \(T\) is 1.875 . Find the values of the parameters of the distribution.
