standard deviation of probability distribution
The mean and standard deviation of a discrete population probability distribution are found by using these formulas: Mean Î¼ = Î£xP(x). Standard Deviation Ï = âÏ(x â Î¼)2P(x). To calculate these figures, we should construct a table which looks like the following: x P(x) xP(x) x - Î¼ (x â Î¼)2 (x â Î¼)2 P(x).
