Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied. Five males with an X-linked genetic disorderhave one child each. The random variable x is the number of childrenamong the five who inherit the X-linked genetic disorder. X 012345P(x) 0.0310.1560.3130.3130.1560.031

We can find the second moment given by:

And we can calculate the variance with this formula:

And the deviation is:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probability distribution given:

X          0            1        2         3        4         5

P(X)   0.031   0.156  0.313  0.313  0.156  0.031

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).  

We can verify that:

And

So then we have a probability distribution

We can calculate the expected value with the following formula:

We can find the second moment given by:

And we can calculate the variance with this formula:

And the deviation is:
