    The document discusses calculating the mean of a discrete random variable. The mean is the average value and is calculated by multiplying each possible outcome by its probability and summing these values. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the mean by constructing a probability distribution, multiplying outcomes by probabilities, and adding the results. The mean provides the central or expected value of a discrete random variable.

    Discrete Random Variable


    The Mean (µ) of a discrete random variable is the central
    value or average of its corresponding probability mass
    function.
    It is also called as the Expected Value.
    It is computed using the formula:
    µ = ∑ 𝑋𝑃(𝑥)
    Where x is the outcome and p(x) is the probability of the
    outcome
     Examples
    Determine the mean or Expected Value of random variable below.

    Solution:
    µ = ∑ 𝑋𝑃(𝑥)
    µ = ∑ (0)(1/5) + (1)(1/5) +(2)(1/5) + (3)(1/5) +(4)(1/5)
    µ = ∑ (0) + (1/5) + (2/5) + (3/5) + (4/5)
    µ = (10/5)
    µ = 2 Therefore, Mean(µ) is 2 for the above random variable.
     Examples
    Determine the mean or Expected Value of random variable below.

    STEPS IN FINDING THE MEAN


    Step 1: Construct the probability distribution for the
    random variable X representing the number of items that
    the customer will buy.
    Step 2: Multiply the value of the random variable X by the
    corresponding probability.
    Step 3: Add the results obtained in Step 2. Results obtained
    is the mean of the probability distribution.
     Examples
    Determine the mean or Expected Value of random variable below.

    STEPS IN FINDING
    THE1:MEAN
    Step Construct the probability
    distribution for the random
    variable X representing the number
    of items that the customer will buy.

    Step 2: Multiply the value of the


    random variable X by the
    corresponding probability.
    Step 3: Add the results obtained in
    Step 2. Results obtained is the
    mean of the probability
    distribution. Therefore, Mean(µ) is 2 for the above random variable.
