The probability distribution of X is given in the table. Which statement is true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rational):

where are the statements ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rational):

start by finding the mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.2?

OpenStudy (rational):

how

OpenStudy (rational):

to calculate the mean of distribution, simply multiply the value by corresponding probability then add up

OpenStudy (rational):

|dw:1432820300274:dw|

OpenStudy (rational):

multiply each of those pairs then add them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh shoot. 1.8 sorry

OpenStudy (rational):

try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.5

OpenStudy (rational):

try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How?? Um....

OpenStudy (rational):

im getting 2.8

OpenStudy (rational):

double check ur calculation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have twice. Hmm I will one more time real fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes okay 2.8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I kept putting it in the calc wrong.

OpenStudy (rational):

good, save it. now work the average of possible values of x

OpenStudy (rational):

|dw:1432820640182:dw|

OpenStudy (rational):

simply add them up then divide by 5

OpenStudy (rational):

you divide them by 5 beacause there are 5 of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (rational):

Yes!

OpenStudy (rational):

so we have : mean of the distribution = 2.8 average of the possible values of x = 3

OpenStudy (rational):

look at the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (rational):

Yep!
