Mean and Standard Deviation of a Discrete Variable
The table below shows the probability distribution for the number of miles of highway constructed per day, which varies with the weather.
| Weather Condition | Miles of Highway | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Clear | 5 | 0.6 |
| Rain | 2 | 0.3 |
| Snow | 1 | 0.1 |
Consider the following statements.
I. The expected number of miles constructed in a day is miles.
II. The variance of the daily highway mileage is , so the standard deviation is approximately miles.
III. An observation of 10 miles of highway constructed in one day would be considered a typical result.
Which of the above statements is/are true?
A
I, II, and III
B
I and II only
C
I only
D
II and III only
