From the definition of the variance we can getσ2 = Var ( X ) = E(X 2) - μ2Variance of continuous random variableFor continuous random variable with mean value μ and probability density function f(x):orVarianc
If X is continuous random variable in between 0 and 1 using var(x) = expected value ( x^2 ) - expected value (x)^2, prove that the var(x) \leq \frac{1}{4}. Prove that the variance of a continuous random ...
This paper examines further the problem of estimating the mean and variance of a continuous random variable from estimates of three points within the distribution, typically the median or mode and two extreme fractiles. The problem arises most commonly in PERT and risk analysis where it can ...
The variance of a random variable or distribution is the expectation, or mean, of the squared deviation of that variable from its expected value or mean. Thus the variance is a measure of the amount of variation of the values of that variable, taking account of all possible values and their...

Continuous Data can take any value within a range (such as a person's height)Here we looked only at discrete data, as finding the Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation of continuous data needs Integration.SummaryA Random Variable is a variable whose possible values are numerical outcomes of a...
And by the way, in case you’re wondering, the same identities hold true for the mean and variance of a continuous random variable. But I’ll leave those proofs for a future post (after I’ve introduced a bit of calculus).
Let g(X) be any function of the continuous random variable X. When working with a single random variable, the γ-Winsorized expected value of g(X) is defined to be Ew[g(X)]=∫xγx1−γg(x)dF(x)+γ[g(xγ)+g(x1−γ)]. That is, the expected value of g(X) is defined...
