A 100-foot wire extends from the top of a pole to a point p on the ground, as shown in the figure below. Which expression gives the distange in feet, from p to the bottom of the pole?

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0

7.25

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 7 equals to 7.0. we also know that 1/4=0.25. so we can add the two together and we get 7.25
