You throw two four-sided dice. Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice. Compute E(X). Round your answer to three decimal places.

E(X)=3.125

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two four sided dice.

Then , the sample space

{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)}

Total number of outcomes=16

Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice

Outcomes                            X                                 P(X)

(1,1)                                          1                                 1/16

(1,2),(2,1),(2,2)                                   2                        3/16

(1,3),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3)                    3                           5/16  

(1,4),(3,4) ,(2,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)    4                            7/16

step-by-step explanation:

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
