Question

There is a chance that a bit transmitted through a digital transmission channel is received in error. Let X equal the number of bits in error in the next four

bits transmitted. The possible values for X are {0,1,2,3,4}. Based on a model for the errors that is presented in the following section, probabilities for these values will be determined. Suppose that the probabilities are P(X = 0) = 0.6561 P(X = 2) = 0.0486 P(X = 4) = 0.0001 P(X = 1) = 0.2916%3D Р(X%—D 3) 3 0.0036%3D Estimate the mean, variance and standard deviation for the random variable X.
