A restaurant is interested to see how strong the correlation is between the number of table staff and the number of complaints on a given night. On the basis of historical data, it estimates the probabilities as follows: Table Staff Complaints 2 3 4 0.12 0.3 0.28 1 0.06 0.12 0.02 2 0.08 0.02 What is the mean number of table staff? O 2.94 O 3.00 O 3.04 O 3.20 O 3.88
