Hello,

What is the circled notation in the attached image? How do you solve it?

Thank you

Explanation of Solution
The probability density function of the discrete random variable X
is shown below:
f(x) =
Here, X=0, 1, 2, 3.
The expected value or mean of X:
H = E (X)
2xf (x), For discrete
xf (x) dx, For continuous
-00
In this context, the random variable Xis discrete. Therefore, the
mean of Xis shown below:
µ = E (X)

x=0
(0) P (X = 0) + (1) P (X = 1) + (2) P (X = 2)+
(3) Р (X — 3)

Expert Solution
Step 1

In the above example, the binomial distribution is used. Binomial distribution has two parameters n and p.

where n = number of trials, p= probability of success
