Question

In a sporting event, the championship is won by the first team to win four games. The lengths of the championship games are given in the table. Let X denote the number of games that it takes to complete a championship, and Y denote the number of games that it took to complete a randomly selected championship from among those considered in the table.

Determine the mean and standard deviation of the random variable Y.

The mean is

games.

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The standard deviation is
games.

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Number of games	Frequency	Relative Frequency
4	22	0.196
5	27	0.241
6	27	0.241
7	36	0.321

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
