Standard deviation of {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}:
- 2
- 2.83
- 4
- 8
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 2.83
sigma = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(8) ≈ 2.828.
P(at least one head in 2 fair coin tosses):
- 1/4
- 1/2
- 3/4
- 1
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 3/4
P(no heads) = (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/4. P(at least one head) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.
