The table defines a discrete probability distribution. Find the expected value of the distribution.
x | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pr(x) | 1/3 | 1/3 | 1/3 | 0 |
Solution,
x | p(x) | x * p(x) |
7 | 0.333 | 2.33 |
8 | 0.333 | 2.66 |
9 | 0.333 | 3.00 |
10 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 7.99 |
Expected value = x * p(x) = 7.99

A discrete probability distribution differs from a continuous probability distribution, by only taking values on a discrete set (like the whole numbers) instead of a continuous set. The geometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution which measures the number of times an experiment must be repeated before a success occurs. For example, in this problem, we will roll a fair six-sided die until the number six occurs, at which point we stop rolling. (a) If we are rolling a die,...
