The number of mobile phones sold per day at a retail store

varies as shown in the given probability distribution below. Find the
mean, variance and standard deviation of mobile phones that will be
sold in one day.

The Mean

μ=∑ [ x { P ( x ) } ]

μ ∑ [ { 30 ( 0.2 ) } + { 33 ( 0.2 ) } + {38 ( 0.35 ) }+ { 40 ( 0.23 ) } + {50 ( 0.02 ) } ]

𝜇=∑ (6 + 6.6 + 13.3 + 9.2 + 1)

𝜇= 36.1
Therefore, the number of mobile phones sold per day is 36.1
