Find the expected value of the following probability distrib
Find the expected value of the following probability distribution.
| X | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| P(X) | 0.05 | 0.20 | 0.35 | 0.25 | 0.15 |
Solution
Expected Value = summation (x * P(x) )
= 1*0.05 + 2*0.2 + 3*0.35 + 4*0.25 + 5*0.15
= 3.25
Hope this helped!
