Suppose that the probabilities of a customer purchasing 0, 1, or 2 books at a book store are 0.4, 0.2, and 0.4, respectively. What is the expected number of books a customer will purchase?

Expected number of books = 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of books, E(x) = ∑xp(x)

∑ = Summation

x = books

p(x) = probability of purchasing a book

E(x) = (0*0.4) + (1*0.2) + (2*0.4)

E(x) = 0 + 0.2 + 0.8 = 1.0

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

a .4y4

hope this !
