Let X be a discrete random variable and probability distribution X is

X−1-101
P(X)12\frac{1}{2}15\frac{1}{5}310\frac{3}{10}

Then E(X) is equal to :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

E(X)=∑xi⋅P(xi)E(X) = \sum x_i \cdot P(x_i)

=(−1)⋅12+0⋅15+1⋅310= (-1) \cdot \frac{1}{2} + 0 \cdot \frac{1}{5} + 1 \cdot \frac{3}{10}

=−12+310= -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{10}

=−510+310=−210=−15= -\frac{5}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = -\frac{2}{10} = -\frac{1}{5}.
