the random variable w can take on the values of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. the expected value of w is 2.8. which of the following is the best interpretation of the expected value of random variable w ?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is Option E, For values of W repeatedly selected at random from the distribution the mean of the selected values will approach 2.8.

The expected value can be found by using the formula ∑x*p(x)

The random variable W can take on the values of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. The expected value of W is 2.8.

Expected value (EV) describes the long-term average level of a random variable based on its probability distribution.

The expected value can be found by using the formula ∑x*p(x)

A randomly selected value of W must be equal to 2.8.

This is not true as the expected value is like the average

B The values of W vary by about 2.8 units from the mean of the distribution.

This is not true, as it is not the difference between an observation to its mean.

с The mean of a random sample of values selected from the distribution will be 2.8 It is false

D A value of randomly selected from the distribution will be less than 2.8 units of the mean. This statement is also false

E For values of W repeatedly selected at random from the distribution the mean of the selected values will approach 2.8.

Thus the correct answer is Option E, For values of W repeatedly selected at random from the distribution the mean of the selected values will approach 2.8.
