问题如下:
According to the above table, what is the variance of X?
选项:
A.
3.6.
B.
1.90.
C.
6.64.
解释:
A is correct
Firstly ,We calulate expected return of X, E(X) = (0.2)(-2) + (0.6)(1) + (0.2)(4) = 1,
Then,Var(X) = 0.2(-2-1)2 + 0.6(1-1)2 + 0.2(4-1)2 = 3.6
如题,看答案解析以后,是要理解成这道题目中,P(XY)=P(X)=P(Y)吗?主要不理解,为什么可以用Joint Probability的概率,直接用来当做X发生的概率。
