If a discrete random variable X has the following probability distribution:
X -2, - 1, 0, 1, 2
P(X) 0.2, 0.3, 0.15, 0.2, 0.15
Use this to find the following:
(a) The mean of X and E[X^2].
(b) The probability distribution for Y = 2X^2 + 2 (i.e, all values of Y and P(Y )).
(c) Using part (b) (i.e, the probability distribution forY ), find E[Y ].
(d) Using part (a), verify your answer in part (c) for E[Y ].
