Question: Students in a class take a quiz with eight questions. The number x of questions answered correctly can be approximated by the following probability distribution.

Students in a class take a quiz with eight questions. The number x of questions answered correctly can be approximated by the following probability distribution. Complete parts(a) through(e).

x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
P(x) 0.03 0.01 0.06 0.06 0.09 0.23 0.33 0.14 0.05

(a) Use the probability distribution to find the mean of the probability distribution.?(Round to the nearest tenth asneeded.)

(b) Use the probability distribution to find the variance of the probability distribution. ? (Round to the nearest tenth asneeded.)

(c) Use the probability distribution to find the standard deviation of the probability distribution? (Round to the nearest tenth asneeded.)

(d) Use the probability distribution to find the expected value of the probability distribution? (Round to the nearest tenth asneeded.)

(e) Interpret the results.

A.The expected number of questions answered correctly is 3.1with a standard deviation of 1.8questions.B.The expected number of questions answered correctly is 5.2with a standard deviation of 1.8questions.C.The expected number of questions answered correctly is 5.2with a standard deviation of 0.03questions.D.The expected number of questions answered correctly is 1.8with a standard deviation of 5.2questions.
