In a certain animal species, the probability that a healthy adult female will have no offspring in a given year is 0.34, while the probabilities of 1, 2, 3, or 4 offspring are, respectively, 0.22, 0.16, 0.15, and 0.13. Find the expected number of offspring E(X)= (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
