The probability distribution of the random variable X is given by the formula P(X = x) = 0.09+0.01x^2 for x= 1,2,3,4,5 ). Find E(X).

The expected value of a discrete variable is defined as:

E(X) = ∑x*P(X=x) (for all possible values of x, in this case x = {1,2,3,4,5} ) 

(next, we will expand the summation and substitute in...
