Student Math Assessment

The document is a math test given to a student assessing their understanding of finding the mean, variance, and standard deviation of a discrete random variable. It provides a table of data showing the number of prior convictions for prison inmates and their relative frequencies. The student is asked to use this data to calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation, and write their conclusions.
