Question
Let X be a random variable defining number of students getting A grade. Find the expected value of X from the given table:
| X = x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| P(X = x) | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.4 | 0.3 |

Solution
Let X be a random variable taking values 0, 1, 2, 3,
Expected value E(x) = Σp1x1
= (0.2 × 0) + (0.1 × 1) + (0.4 × 2) + (0.3 × 3)
= 0 + 0.1 + 0.8 + 0.9
∴ E(x) = 1.8
