Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear re…
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Answer to Problem T6.2SPT

Option d. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

X is the number of puzzles completed by a randomly chosen subject.

The probability distribution of X is given below

    Value 1234
    Probability 0.20.40.30.1

The standard deviation of X is 0.9.

Definition used:

Standard deviation is the measure of deviation of the variables from the mean.

If the standard deviation is close to zero, then the majority of the data lies around mean and if it is high, then the data is spread.

Here, the standard deviation is 0.9 which depicts that X (number of puzzles) differed from mean by 0.9 on an average.
