If m and σ2 are the mean and variance of the random variable X. whose distribution is given by

x 0 1 2 3
Px 1/3 1/2 0 1/6

then

  1. m=σ2=2
  2. m=1,σ2=2
  3. m=σ2=1
  4. m=2,σ2=1

Solution

Given, distribution is

x 0 1 2 3
Px 1/3 1/2 0 1/6

 Mean, m=i=14pixi

=0×13+1×12+2×0+3×16

=0+12+0+12=1

Variance, σ2=i=14pix1-m2

=130-12+121-12+02-11+163-12

=13+0+0+23=1

 m=σ2=1
