Let X be a discrete random variable whose probability distribution is defined as follows:
P(X = x) = `{{:("k"(x + 1), "for" x = 1"," 2"," 3"," 4),(2"k"x, "for" x = 5"," 6"," 7),(0, "Otherwise"):}`
where k is a constant. Calculate Standard deviation of X.
उत्तर
We know that Standard deviation (SD) = `sqrt("Variance")`
Variance= E(X2) – [E(X)]2
E(X2) = `1 xx 2/50 + 4 xx 3/50 + 9 xx 4/50 + 16 xx 5/50 + 25 xx 10/50 + 36 xx 12/50 + 49 xx 14/50`
= `2/50 + 12/50 + 36/50 + 80/50 + 250/50 + 432/50 + 686/50`
= `1498/50`
∴ Variance (X) = `1498/50 - (26/5)^2`
= `1498/50 - 676/25`
= `(1498 - 1352)/50`
= `146/50`
= 2.92
∴ S.D = `sqrt(2.92)`
= 1.7 .....(Approx)

The probability that a bomb will hit the target is 0.8. Complete the following activity to find, the probability that, out of 5 bombs exactly 2 will miss the target.
Solution: Here, n = 5, X =number of bombs that hit the target
p = probability that bomb will hit the target = `square`
∴ q = 1 - p = `square`
Here, `X∼B(5,4/5)`
∴ P(X = x) = `""^"n""C"_x"P"^x"q"^("n" - x) = square`
P[Exactly 2 bombs will miss the target] = P[Exactly 3 bombs will hit the target]
= P(X = 3)
=`""^5"C"_3(4/5)^3(1/5)^2=10(4/5)^3(1/5)^2`
∴ P(X = 3) = `square`
