Question
![**Calculate the Mean Value (Expected Value) of the Following Discrete Variable x:**
- \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 \)
- \( p(x) = 0.2, 0.2, 0.15, 0.15, 0.15, 0.1, 0.05 \)
To find the mean value (expected value) of a discrete random variable, use the formula:
\[
E(X) = \sum [x \times p(x)]
\]
where \( x \) represents the value of the discrete random variable and \( p(x) \) represents the probability of each value. Calculate by multiplying each \( x \) value by its corresponding probability, and then summing these products.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/c16c57e7-c023-43f1-8e90-bbb728ab4866/cb4a41f6-0b6c-42ab-a3af-f05e0013fcd1/8gya91f.jpeg)
