To solve this problem, we first need to determine the possible values of \(X\) and their probabilities.
The possible outcomes for the die are \(-1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 2\) and for the spinner are \(-1, 0, 1\). The possible values of \(X\) are the sums of these outcomes.
Possible values of \(X\) are: \(-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\).
| \(x\) | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|
| \(P(X = x)\) | \(\frac{2}{18}\) | \(\frac{4}{18}\) | \(\frac{5}{18}\) | \(\frac{4}{18}\) | \(\frac{2}{18}\) | \(\frac{1}{18}\) |
Next, we calculate the expected value \(E(X)\):
\(E(X) = \frac{-4 - 4 + 0 + 4 + 4 + 3}{18} = \frac{1}{6}\)
Now, we calculate \(\text{Var}(X)\):
\(\text{Var}(X) = \frac{8 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 9}{18} - \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^2\)
\(= \frac{11}{6} - \frac{1}{36}\)
\(= \frac{65}{36}\)
Thus, \(\text{Var}(X) = \frac{65}{36}\) or approximately 1.81.
