@perl

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to find the mean value first

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

oh ok, do i find the mean for x or p? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

by definition, the mean value is given by the subsequent computation: \[\Large \left\langle x \right\rangle = \left( {4 \times \frac{1}{3}} \right) + \left( {3 \times \frac{1}{{12}}} \right) + \left( {2 \times \frac{7}{{12}}} \right) = ...?\]

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

ok thanks, so i got 4/3+ 3/12+ 14/12= 16/12+3/12+14/12= 33/12= 2.75

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, we have to compute this: \[\large \begin{gathered} {\sigma ^2} = \left\{ {{{\left( {4 - \frac{{33}}{{12}}} \right)}^2} \times \frac{1}{3}} \right\} + \left\{ {{{\left( {3 - \frac{{33}}{{12}}} \right)}^2} \times \frac{1}{{12}}} \right\} + \hfill \\ + \left\{ {{{\left( {2 - \frac{{33}}{{12}}} \right)}^2} \times \frac{7}{{12}}} \right\} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

oh ok so i have (15/12)^2= (5/4)^2*(1/3)= 1.5626*1/3= .52086667 + (1/4)^2= 0.0625+.52086667+ (-9/12)^2= 0.0625+.52086667+.328125= .91149167

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I got 0.8532

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so we have: \[\sigma = \sqrt {0.853} = 0.924\]

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

ok thanks! sorry it took so long to respond my internet crashed @michele_laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry I have lost my internet connection
