Formula for the mean:
SUM [x * P(x)]
Take x times P(x) for each value listed. Then add for the mean.
Formula for the variance:
{SUM [x^2 * P(x)] - mean^2}
Square each x. Then take x^2 times P(x) for each value. Add up the values for a total, then subtract mean squared from that total.
For standard deviation:
Take the square root of the variance.
