Assignment 4

This document contains information about probability distributions for several random variables X. It includes tables listing possible values of X, their probabilities P(X), expected values X⋅P(X) and variances X2⋅P(X). It also calculates the mean, variance and standard deviation for each distribution. Several problems at the end ask to find these values for new random variables.
