Answer

Mean: $7$ Standard deviation: $\sqrt{2}$

Work Step by Step

The discrete uniform distribution has the parameters: $$a=5, b=9$$ Calculate the mean and the variance: $$\mathbb{E}(X)=\frac{5+9}{2}=[7]$$ $$\operatorname{Var}(X)=\frac{(9-5+1)^{2}-1}{12}=2$$ $$\sigma=\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}(X)}=[\sqrt{2}]$$
