How do you defi ne variance in terms of Mathematical expectation?
उत्तर
The variance of X is defined by
Var(X) = `sum[x - "E"("x")]^2 "p"(x)`
If X is discrete random variable with probability mass function p(x).
Var(X) = `int_-oo^oo [x - "E"("X")]^2 "f"_x (x) "d"x`
If X is continuous random variable with probability density function fx (x).
