develops the probability distribution below for randomly selected student. what is the mean of the probability distribution
1 answer:
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete due to the probability distribution table, investigating you can find it so I will attach it.
Having the table, we need to find the mean of the probability distribution, which is defined as the sum of the product of probability and value of random distribution, that is:
M = Sum (xi) * P (xi)
We replace:
M = 0.5 * 0.07 + 1 * 0.2 + 1.5 * 0.46 + 2 * 0.2 + 2.5 * 0.07
M = 1.5
Therefore, the mean of the given table is 1.5
