Step 1

The expected number of admissions for the fall semester is obtained below:

 

From the given information, student admissions for the fall semester on the basis of past experience and their probabilities are obtained. Let x denotes the number of admissions for the fall semester.

 

The required probabilities are,

AdmissionsProbability
10000.6
12000.3
15000.1

The expected value is,

E(x)=10000.6+12000.3+15000.10=600+360+150=1110

The expected number of admissions for the fall semester is 1,110.

Step 2

The value of Ex2 is obtained below:

The value for Ex2 is,

Ex2=10002(0.6)+12002(0.3)+15002(0.10)=600000+432000+225000=1257000

The value for E(x2) is obtained by taking the sum of the products of x2 and Px values.

Step 3

The variance of the number of admissions is obtained below:

The required variance is,

V(x)=1257000-(1110)2=1257000-1232100=24900

Step 4

The standard deviation of the number of admissions is obtained below:

The required standard deviation is,

SD(x)=1257000-(1110)2

=1257000-1232100

=24900

=157.797

The standard deviation of the number of admissions is 157.797.
