Let X be a random variable with probability distribution f(x). The mean, or
expected value, of X is
μ = E(X) = ∑ f(x)
T
if X is discrete, and
μ = Ε(Χ) =
L
zf(x) dr
if X is continuous.
= Question 1
The probability distribution of the discrete random variable X is found below. Find the mean of X. (write answer as a decimal)
f(z) = ()()()=0.1.2.3.
