Explanation / Answer

Mean: = E(X) = xp(x) = (19)(.2) + (20)(.2) + (21)(.3)+ (22)(.2) + (23)(.1) = 20.8 Variance: 2 = V(X) = E(X-)2 =(x-)2p(x) = (19-20.8)2(.2) +(20-20.8)2(.2) + (21-20.8)2(.3) +(22-20.8)2(.2) + (23-20.8)2(.1) = 81/125 +16/125 + 3/250 + 36/125 + 121/250 = 39/25 = 1.56 Standard Deviation: = +2 =1.56 = 1.25 Need to purchase: = 20.8
