In a certain town, 40% of adults have a college degree. If four adults from the town are
selected at random, the probabilities that 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 of them will have college degrees are
provided in the accompanying table. Find the standard deviation for the probability
distribution
Х P(x)
0 0.1296
1 0.3456
2 0.3456
3 0.1536
4 0.0256

According to the discrete distribution given, the standard deviation is of: 0.98.

The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability, hence:

[tex]E(X) = 0.1296(0) + 0.3456(1) + 0.3456(2) + 0.1536(3) + 0.0256(4) = 1.6[/tex]

The standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the multiplication of each probability and the difference squared between the observation and the mean, hence:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{0.1296(0-1.6)^2 + \cdots + 0.1536(3-1.6)^2 + 0.0256(4-1.6)^2} = 0.98[/tex]

The standard deviation is of 0.98.
