To find the mean (or expected value) of a probability distribution, you need to multiply each outcome by its respective probability and then sum those products. However, you have not provided the specific table with the point values and their corresponding probabilities.
Assuming you have the values and probabilities available, here's how you can calculate the mean:
- Multiply each point value (X) by its probability (P(X)).
- Sum all those products to get the mean (μ).
The formula for mean (μ) is:
\[ μ = \sum (X \cdot P(X)) \]
If you provide the specific point values and their probabilities, I can help you calculate the mean. Otherwise, without that data, I can't determine which of the given responses is correct.
