Let x represent the number of times a student visits a gym in a one month period. Assume that the probability distribution of X is as follows: x 0 1 2 3
p(x) 0.37 0.29 0.22 0.12
Find the mean, of this distribution. Report your answer to two decimal places.

1.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

X : - - - - 0 - - - - 1 - - - - 2 - - - - - 3 - - - - 4

P(x) - 0.37 - - 0.28 - - 0.22 - - 0.22 - - 0.12

The mean of the distribution can be calculated by evaluated by determining the expected value of the distribution given that the data above is a discrete random variable. The mean value can be deduced multiplying each possible outcome by the probability of it's occurrence.

Summation of [P(x) * X] :

(0.37 * 0) + (0.28 * 1) + (0.22 * 2) + (0.22 * 3) + (0.12 * 4)

= 0 + 0.28 + 0.44 + 0.66 + 0.48

= 1.86

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)
