Well formatted version of question:

Find the expected value of a random variable x having the following probability distribution.

x (-5,-1,0,1,5,8)

Probability (.12, .16, .28, .22, .12, .1)

0.86

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value E(X) is calculated as :

E(X) = Σ(x * p(x))

(-5)(0.12) + (-1)(0.16) + (0)(0.28) + 1(0.22) + 5(0.12) + 8(0.10)

-0.6 + -0.16 + 0 + 0.22 + 0.6 + 0.8

= 0.86
