What I Can Do
your answer. Write your answer on the space provided.
Activity 1

A. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the following

probability distribution by completing the tables below.

B. Solve the following problem.

A police lieutenant records the number of police blotter filed each day in
their city. Based on his records, the probability distribution of the number
of police blotters filed each day is in the table below. The city mayor
claims that the crime rate is in its all-time low with only 2 blotters being
filed each day. Determine the mean of the probability distribution shown
and decide if the mayor’s claim is valid.
