The random variable x is the number of children among the five who inherit the genetic disorder Determine whether the table describes a probability distribution. If it does, find the mean and standard deviation. 5 2 P(x) 0.0010 0.01460.08790.2637 0.3955 0.2373 Find the mean of the random variable x. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fil in the answer box to complete your choice ?A.?. OA (Round to one decimal place as needed.) O B. The table is not a probability distribution Please copy and paste data from text area below Selected delimiter: Tab P(x) 0.0010 0-0146 0.0879 0-2637 0.3955 0.2373 Done

Explanation / Answer

Mean of the random variable x = (0* 0.0010 ) + (1* 0.0146) + (2*0.0879) + (3*0.2637) + (4*0.3955) + (5*0.2373)

= 3.75

A. Mean of the random variable x = 3.8 (one decimal place)
