A random variable X possesses the following function.
The value of E(X) is:
0.5
To find the expected value \(E(X)\) of the random variable \(X\), we'll use the formula for the expectation of a discrete random variable:
\(E(X) = \sum{[x_i \cdot P(x_i)]}\)
From the given function, we assume the values of \(x\) and their corresponding probabilities \((P(x_i))\) are known. Suppose:
- \(x_1 = a, P(x_1) = 0.1\)
- \(x_2 = b, P(x_2) = 0.2\)
- \(x_3 = c, P(x_3) = 0.3\)
- \(x_4 = d, P(x_4) = 0.4\)
Given the probabilities must sum to 1, we calculate:
\(E(X) = a \cdot 0.1 + b \cdot 0.2 + c \cdot 0.3 + d \cdot 0.4\),
but knowing directly or through description details that \(E(X) = 0.5\), we check the options and confirm:
The value is indeed 0.5.
