x -5 -1 2 7 10
P(x)0.15 0.08 0.22 0.18 0.37

Determine the expected value of x.

Determine the standard deviation of x.

Stick to the definitions,

$E(X)=\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}x_iP(x_i)}$

and

$SD(X)=\sqrt{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\left[x_i-E(X)\right]^2P(x_i)}}$ or

$SD(X)=\sqrt{E(X^2)-E(X)^2}$

Next time please show where you cannot understand, because for me this seems quite basics
