Question 350747: At the Glenridge quarry park ( a great place to check out if you have not been there yet), there are bullfrogs as big as a bread and butter plate. On a warm day they sit on the bank and jump into the water if they hear you coming. A maximum of 3 bullfrogs can sit on one particular sloped area. The following shows a probability distribution of seeing x frogs there during a lunch time walk.
x 0 1 2 3
P(x) 0.2 0.62 0.13 0.05
Consider a random lunch time walk.
A. Find the probability that 1 or fewer are seen.
B. Find the expected number of bullfrogs.
C. Find the standard deviation of the number of bullfrogs.

a) P%280%29%2BP%281%29=0.2%2B0.62=0.82
.
.

b)
E=sum%28x%2AP%28x%29%2Cx=0%2C3%29
E=0%280.2%29%2B1%280.62%29%2B2%280.13%29%2B3%280.05%29=1.03
.

c) SD%5E2=sum%28%28x-E%29%5E2%2AP%28x%29%2Cx=0%2C3%29

SD=0.7274
