The expected value of the discrete distribution, if you have to pay $.50 to pick one package at random, is of -$0.08.
<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>
The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.
For this problem, considering the cost of $0.5, the distribution is given as follows:
- P(X = 0.2) = 12/(12 + 15 + 23) = 12/50 = 0.24.
- P(X = -0.1) = 15/(12 + 15 + 23) = 15/50 = 0.3.
- P(X = -0.2) = 23/(12 + 15 + 23) = 23/50 = 0.46.
Hence the expected value is given by:
E(X) = 0.2 x 0.24 - 0.3 x 0.1 - 0.2 x 0.46 = -$0.08.

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
Leg <em>a</em> = <em>a</em>
Leg <em>b</em> = 12
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 20
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 12² = 20²
- Evaluate exponents: a² + 144 = 400
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>a</em> term: a² = 256
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: a = 16
Now we have to,
find the required value of x.
Let's begin,
→ 3x-2 = 2(x-5)
→ 3x-2 = 2x-10
→ 3x-2x = -10+2
→ x = -8
Hence, value of x is -8.
