Mean, Variance & Std Dev Calculations

This document contains a student's work on calculating the mean, variance, and standard deviation of two discrete probability mass functions. For the first function, the student correctly calculates the mean as 2.07, variance as 1.2051, and standard deviation as 1.09777. For the second function, the mean is found to be 2.89, variance 1.7979, and standard deviation 1.340858. The student also indicates they will create an Excel format to automate these calculations.
