A researcher reports that when groups of 4 children are randomly selected from a population of couples meeting certain criteria, the probability distribution for the number of girls is as given in the accompanying table
X P(x)
0 0.502
1 0.365
2 0.098
3 0.011
4 0.001
Determine whether a probability distribution is given, if one isn’t described, identify the requirements that are not satisfied. In those cases where a probably distribution is described, find its mean and stand deviation.
I think the mean is 2 and stand dev. is 1.414.
