1) The document discusses variance and standard deviation, including their definitions and formulas. Variance measures how far data points are from the mean, while standard deviation describes how dispersed the data are from the mean.
2) Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating variance and standard deviation step-by-step. This includes finding the mean, deviations from the mean, summing the squared deviations, and taking the square root.
3) Formulas are given for calculating the mean, variance, and standard deviation of discrete random variables from their probability mass functions.
