The table below shows the probability distribution of a random variable Z Z PZ 11 006 10 036 9 043 8 003 7 002 6 01 What is the mean of the probability distribu class=

Respuesta :

The mean (μ) of a discrete random variable (z) is calculated as follows:

[tex]\mu=\Sigma z\cdot P(z)[/tex]

Substituting with data:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \mu=-11\cdot0.06-10\cdot0.36-9\cdot0.43-8\cdot0.03-7\cdot0.02-6\cdot0.1 \\ \mu=-0.66-3.6-3.87-0.24-0.14-0.6 \\ \mu=-9.11 \end{gathered}[/tex]
