A frequency distribution is shown below. Complete parts (a) through (e). The number of dogs per household in a small town.
(a) Use the frequency distribution to construct a probability distribution. (b) Find the mean of the probability distribution. (c) Find the variance of the probability distribution. (d) Find the standard deviation of the probability distribution. (e) Using the found values of the mean and the standard deviation, an interpretation of the results in the context of the real-life situation is that a household on average has _ dog with a standard deviation of _ dog.
Dogs x=0 1 2 3 4 5
Households p(x)= 1225 408 164 44 25 15
Solution:
The total number of households having dogs is
1225+408+164+44+25+15 =1881
e) A household on average has 1.17 dog with a standard deviation of 0.9314 dog
