Answer 1

Answer:

Mean = 3.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above table

Required

Determine the mean

The mean is calculated as thus:

Mean = Summation of x * P(x)

So, we have:

Mean = 1 * 0.14 + 2 * 0.16 + 3 * 0.12 + 4 * 0.14 + 5 * 0.13 + 6 * 0.31

Mean = 0.14 + 0.32 + 0.36 + 0.56 + 0.65 + 1.86

Mean = 3.89

Mean = 3.9 (approximated)
