For any uniform probability distribution, the mean and standard deviation can be computed by knowing the maximum and minimum values of the random variable.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a uniform probability distribution, the mean and standard deviation can indeed be calculated using the maximum and minimum values of the random variable. The mean is simply the average of the maximum and minimum values, and the standard deviation can be calculated using the formula sqrt((max-min)^2/12).
