In the parallelogram shown, find x.

The side with all the 9s and x is 12 just like its opposite side because this is a parallelogram. We can write the equation to add up the three segments; the ones on the left and right are 9-x:

9-x + x + 9-x = 12

18 - x = 12

x = 6

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
