Answers (1)

Answer:

2,1

Hint:

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i} P_{i} \text { and } \operatorname{Var}(X)=E\left(X^{2}\right)-(E(X))^{2}

Given:

A fair coin tossed 4 times

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline X & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline P(X) & \frac{1}{16} & \frac{1}{4} & \frac{3}{8} & \frac{1}{4} & \frac{1}{16} \\ \hline \end{array}\\ \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} &\text { Mean } E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i} P_{i} \\ &=0 \times \frac{1}{16}+1 \times \frac{1}{4}+2 \times \frac{3}{8}+3 \times \frac{1}{4}+4 \times \frac{1}{16} \\ &=2 \\ \end{aligned} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} &E\left(X^{2}\right)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}^{2} P_{i} \\ &=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{9}{4}+1=5 \\ \end{aligned} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{Var}(X)=E\left(X^{2}\right)-(E(X))^{2} \\ &=5-2^{2} \\ &=5-4=1 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}
