Exercise 6. Suppose a random variable has support: {−2,−1,0, 1, 2} and its pmf is: X -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) 2/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 2/7 (a) Calculate E(X) and E(X²). (b) Using the calculated values of E(X) and E(X²) and properties of the expectation operator, calculate the following quantities: (i) E(2X – 3), (ii) E(X² – 3X), (iii) E((X− 1)²). (c) Calculate the variance of X.
