A probability distribution allows you to organize all possible outcomes of a random variable along with their corresponding occurrence probabilities. The expected value E (x) of a discrete random variable is calculated by multiplying each value that it can assume by its probability of occurrence and then adding the products.
The following table shows the probability distribution for the time (in minutes) it takes for a computer to recover after a failure. What is the most likely wait time to use the computer again?

Tiempo means Time and Probabilidad means Probability
