4.1B – Probability Distribution • MEAN of discrete random variable: µ = ΣxP(x) • EACH x is multiplied by its probability and the products are added. • µ = EXPECTED VALUE of discrete random variables
Example: Find the EXPECTED VALUE of your gain. • 1500 tickets are sold for $2 each for 4 prizes of $500, $250, $150, and $75. You buy 1 ticket. What is the expected value of your gain?

Standard Deviation • VARIANCE of discrete random variable σ² = Σ(x-µ)²P(x) OR σ² = [Σx²P(x)] - µ² • STANDARD DEVIATION of discrete random variable σ = √σ²
Example: Find Variance & Standard Deviation σ = √σ² = √1.616 = 1.27
