Question

The random variable X, representing the number of accidents in a certain intersection in a week, has the following probability distribution: On average, how many accidents are there in the intersection in a week

Answer 1

Answer:

Average Mean = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing:

X:0 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(x): 0.20 0.30 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05

Computation:

Average Mean [Probability distribution]

∑[P(x) × X]

= 0 x 0.20 + 1 x 0.30 + 2 x 0.20 + 3 x 0.15 + 4 x 0.10 + 5 x 0.05

= 1.8

Average Mean = 1.8
