1) Answer the following problem, give an example if needed.
a) How do you find the expected value of a discrete random variable?
b) What does a probability density function measure?
Question 1a)
Suppose, a discrete random variable takes values
with corresponding probabilities
Then the expected value of the random variable is found by the formula
Let, X is a random variable taking values 1,2, and 4, with chances 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4 respectively.
Then the expected value of X is
Question 1b)
A probability density function measures the probability that a certain continuous random variable lies within a given range.
