SOLUTION:

A random variable x = number of cups of coffee consumed on an average day.

∴Let x = 4 represent four or more cups. Round your answers to four decimal places.

X          Probability (X)

0             0.1  

1              0.15

2             0.3

3             0.75

4             0. 25

5             0.21

∴ E (X) = Ux(Mean)

0x.0.1 + 1 x.15 + 2 x 0.3 + 3 x 0.75 + 4 x 0.25 + 5 x 0.21 =  6.4
