a. Complete the probability distribution of the random variable X that

denotes the number of students observed buying at a school canteen.

b. What is the probability of the day which has the highest number of
enrolees? (1 point)
- The probability that a day has the highest number of enrollees is 1/6 which is Monday that
has 79 enrollees among the six days given for enrollment
c. What is the mean and variance of the probability distribution? (Attach
your solution.)

d. If Canduman National High School will have the same number of days
for the enrolment of Grade 11 next school year and you have a sister to
enrol in Grade 11, what day will you choose to enrol your sister? Explain
your choice.
- The day i will choose for her to enroll will be Saturday since it's the least number of enrollees and
the process of the enrollment would become quicker and convenient since the campus will not be
busy and full at that time.
