Question

A grocery store has 6 self-checkout stations. The probability distribution of the number of utilized stations, XX, is as follows:

xixi  1 2 3 4 5 6 Total
P(X=xi)P(X=xi)  0.12 0.15 0.42 0.2 0.11 0 1

To find the expected value the following table was set up:

 xixi   P(X=xi)P(X=xi)   xi⋅P(X=xi)xi⋅P(X=xi) 
1 0.12  1⋅0.12=0.121⋅0.12=0.12 
2    2⋅0.15=0.32⋅0.15=0.3 
3 0.42  3⋅3⋅ =1.26=1.26 
4 0.2  4⋅0.2=4⋅0.2= 
5    5⋅0.11=0.555⋅0.11=0.55  
6 0  
    Total:  

Fill out the blanks in the table above and compute the E[X]:

 E[X]=E[X]=  (Round the answer to 2 decimals)
