Solution

To calculate the standard deviation, we first need to calculate the expected value (mean), then the variance, and finally take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation.

  1. Calculate the expected value (mean): E(X) = Σ [x * P(x)] E(X) = (30.05) + (40.4) + (50.3) + (60.15) + (7*0.1) = 0.15 + 1.6 + 1.5 + 0.9 + 0.7 = 4.85

  2. Calculate the variance: Var(X) = Σ [(x - E(X))^2 * P(x)] Var(X) = [(3-4.85)^2 * 0.05] + [(4-4.85)^2 * 0.4] + [(5-4.85)^2 * 0.3] + [(6-4.85)^2 * 0.15] + [(7-4.85)^2 * 0.1] Var(X) = 0.17625 + 0.34 + 0.0225 + 0.17325 + 0.4635 = 1.1755

  3. Calculate the standard deviation: SD(X) = sqrt(Var(X)) = sqrt(1.1755) = 1.0842

So, the standard deviation is approximately 1.08, which is not exactly any of the options given. There might be a mistake in the question or the options provided.
