Answer:

[tex]Mean = 1.4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table shown above

Required

Determine the mean

Mean is calculated as thus:

[tex]Mean = \sum (x.P(x))[/tex]

In other words, sum the product of corresponding values of x and P(x)

For the given table, we have:

[tex]Mean = 0 * 0.3 + 1 * 0.3 + 2 * 0.1 + 3 * 0.3[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 0 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.9[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 1.4[/tex]

Hence, the mean of the distribution is 1.4
