Fish Vertebrae Consider the distribution of vertebrae given in Table 3.5.1. In Exam-
ple 3.5.5 we found that the mean of Y is µy = 21.49. The variance of Y is

+ (21 – 21.49)? x Pr{Y
+ (22 – 21.49)? x Pr{Y = 22}
+ (23 – 21.49) x Pr{Y = 23}
= (-1.49) x 0.03 + (-.49) x 0.51
+ (0.51) x 0.40 + (1.51)² × 0.06
= 2.2201 x 0.03 + .2401 x 0.51 + .2601 x 0.40 + 2.2801 x 0.06
= 0.066603 + 0.122451 + 0.10404 + 0.136806
= 0.4299.
The standard deviation of Y is ay = V0.4299 - 0.6557.
