Statistics and Probability

The document contains examples and activities related to statistics and probability concepts across four lessons. In Lesson 1, the document defines sample spaces and random variables for coin tosses and receiving defective computers. Lesson 2 constructs probability distributions and histograms for the random variables. Lesson 3 calculates means, (X-μ) values, and sums of (X-μ)2*P(X) for given probability distributions. Finally, Lesson 4 finds the variance and standard deviation for a third probability distribution.

2. A shipment of five computers contains two that are slightly defective. If a retailer receives three of
these computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N for
defective and non-defective computers, respectively. To each sample point, assign a value x of the
random variable X representing the number of computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly
defective.
