Mean or Expected Value and Standard Deviation · Exercise 30
Florida State University has 14 statistics classes scheduled for its summer term. One class has space available for 30 students, eight classes have space for 60 students, one class has space for 70 students, and four classes have space for 100 students.
(a) What is the average class size assuming each class is filled to capacity?
(b) Space is available for 980 students. Suppose that each class is filled to capacity and select a statistics student at random. Let the random variable X equal the size of the student’s class. Define the PDF for X.
(c) Find the mean of X.
(d) Find the standard deviation of X.
