The placement data of a business school suggest that the percentage of students securing a job with a multinational during the years 1996, 1997 and 1998 are 20%, 30% and 40% respectively. One student is chosen at random from the graduating batch of each year. Let X be the number of students, out of the three so selected who had secured a job with a multinational. Calculate the following:

a) The probability distribution of X
b) The Mean of X
c) The Standard Deviation of X

Can anyone post answer of this?

Are you asking for sumans? Can't sumans speak for him/herself? In any case, his/her question is over 4 years old and if this was a homework question, it should have been posted in that forum. When posting questions, the poster should show an attempt at a solution.

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
