Define Mathematical expectation in terms of discrete random variable
उत्तर
Let X be a discrete random variable with probability mass function (p.m.f) P(x).
Then, its expected value is defined by E(X) = `sum_x x"p"(x)`
In other words,
If x1, x2, x3,…… xn are the different values of X, and p(x1), p(x2) …..p(xn) are the corresponding probabilities, then E(X) = x1 p(x1) + x2 p(x2) + x3 p(x3) +… xn p(xn)

Four buses carrying 160 students from the same school arrive at a football stadium. The buses carry, respectively, 42, 36, 34, and 48 students. One of the students is randomly selected. Let X denote the number of students that were on the bus carrying the randomly selected student. One of the 4 bus drivers is also randomly selected. Let Y denote the number of students on that bus. Then E(X) and E(Y) respectively are
