Seatwork
I. Do as indicated.

1. A discrete random variable 𝑋 has the following probability distribution: (6 items × 2 points)

x 0 1 2 3 4
P(x) 0.15 0.15 0.20 0.40 0.10

a. What is 𝑃(3)?

b. What is 𝑃(𝑥 > 3)?

c. What is 𝑃(𝑥 ≤ 3)?

d. What is the mean/ Expected value 𝐸(𝑥)?

e. What is the variance (𝜎 2 ) of 𝑋?

f. What is the coefficient of variation (CV)?

2. Two fair dice are rolled at once. Let 𝑋 denote the difference in the number of dots that appear on the
top faces of the two dice. For example, if a one and a five are rolled, 𝑋 = 4, and if two sixes are rolled,
𝑋 = 0. (4 items × 2 points)

a. Construct the probability distribution for 𝑋.

b. Compute the mean/ expected value 𝐸(𝑥).

c. Compute the variance (𝜎 2).

d. Compute the coefficient of variation (CV).

3. Xavier’s production line and Yves’ production line produce variable number of defective parts in an
hour, with probabilities shown in the tables below.

The probability distribution of the random variable 𝑋, represents the number of defective parts in an hour
produced by Xavier’s production line.

𝑋 0 1 2 3 4
𝑃(𝑥) 0.15 0.30 0.25 0.20 0.10

The number of defective parts produced each hour by Yves’ production line is a random variable 𝑌 with
the following probability distribution:

𝑌 0 1 2 3 4
𝑃(𝑦) 0.05 0.05 0.10 0.75 0.05
(4 items × 5 points)

a. Compute the means/ expected values of 𝑋 and 𝑌.

b. Compute the variance of 𝑋 and 𝑌.

c. Compute the coefficient of variance of 𝑋 and 𝑌.

d. Interpret the variability of the two distribution.
