A class has 15 students whose ages are 14, 17, 15, 14, 21, 17, 19, 20, 16, 18, 20, 17, 16, 19 and 20 years. One student is selected in such a manner that each has the same chance of being chosen and the age X of the selected student is recorded. What is the probability distribution of the random variable X? Find mean, variance and standard deviation of X.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to question ,
There are 15 students in the class. Each student has the same chance to be chosen.
Therefore, the probability of each student to be selected is `frac{1}{15}.`
The given information can be compiled in the frequency table as follows.
`P(X=14)=frac{2}{15}, P(X=15)=frac{1}{15}, P(X=16)=frac{2}{15}, P(X=10)= frac{3}{15}, P(X=18)=frac{1}{15}, P(X=19)=frac{2}{15}, P(X=20)=frac{3}{15}, P(X=21)=frac{1}{15}`
