    Do we not minus the end result of Ex^2P(x) by the mean squared?

    • @wesleyryder1693
      @wesleyryder1693 4 роки тому

      I ended up here wondering the same thing, but a different formula was used in this video. Both give the same results though. Ex^2P(x)-sigma^2 and (x-sigma)^2*P(x) give the same results.

    • @freescratch645
      @freescratch645 3 роки тому

      No not when you take into account how far away you are from the mean in the initial calculation. You only need to subtract the mean squares when you do (2.1)^2 • 0.1.

      this way you are calculating the mean of the probability alone which does not represent the mean we are calculating.

    • @bibekdahal596

      we need to multiply the p(x) with x and add.
      multiply .4 with 2 you get .8
