Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" for the answer in case the answer has helped you

All calculation are done in the table. Follow the detailed explanation below and the table to get answer.

a) we will addup all p(x)s and check if they all add to a 1. if they do, then its a valid full and proper probability model. We do see a sum of 1 when we add up.

Answer: So, YES, it is a full and proper probability model ( Check in 3rd column)

b) Expected value is probability p(x) weighted value of x. It is computed as E(x) in the 4th column.

Answer: Expected value of X = 438.5229

c) The standard deviation is given by : sqrt(E(x^2) - E(x)^2). We calculate x^2, and take its probability weigted value to get E(x^2) in column 5th. Then we subtract E(x)^2 and take a square root of the this subtraction result to get Standard deviation value of x.  This is in column 6th.

Answer: Standard deviation for x is : 316.3143

d) Coefficient of variation is (Standard deviation/Expected Value) * 100%. This is calculated in 7th column.

Answer: coefficient of variation for x is : 72.13%
