The object of a popular carnival game is to roll a ball up an incline into regions with different
values. The probability that Angus will get 100 points in a roll is 40%, 200 points is 35%, and
300 points is 25%. Find the expected value, E(X), of a roll.
O 185
O 200
O 400
O 150

The expected value, E(x) of the given observation is 185

The expected value is the mean of the overall observed value or random value. In other words, it is the average of the observed values.

The given parameters can be represented as:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccc}x & {100} & {200} & {300} \ \\ P(x) & {40\%} & {35\%} & {25\%} \ \end{array}[/tex]

The following formula calculates the expected value:

[tex]E(x) =\sum x * P(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(x) = 100 * 40\% + 200 * 35\% + 300 * 25\%[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 40 + 70 + 75[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 185[/tex]
