For the following probability distribution :

X1234
P(X)1/101/53/102/5

E(X2)E(X^2) is equal to :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

E(X2)=∑x2P(X=x)E(X^2)=\sum x^2 P(X=x)

=1⋅110+4⋅15+9⋅310+16⋅25=1\cdot\frac{1}{10}+4\cdot\frac{1}{5}+9\cdot\frac{3}{10}+16\cdot\frac{2}{5}

=110+810+2710+6410=10010=10=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{8}{10}+\frac{27}{10}+\frac{64}{10}=\frac{100}{10}=10.
