Gender stratification‚ which is the unequal distribution of wealth‚ power‚ and privilege between men and women‚ seems

expected average outcome over many observations.The common symbol for the mean (also known as the expected value of X) is ‚ formally defined by Variance - The variance of a discrete random variable X measures the spread‚ or variability‚ of the distribution‚ and is defined by The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Expectation - The expected value (or mean) of X‚ where X is a discrete random variable‚ is a weighted average of the possible values that X can take‚ each value
