Question

Suppose that 28% of the vehicles in a certain town are trucks. A person standing at an intersection waiting for a friend to pick him up. Let X = the number of trucks observed after 20 cars pass the observer. What is the expected value of X?

Answer 1

The expected value is 5.6

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the expected value of x

Mathematically, that will be the probability multiplied by the number of items

In this case, that will be ;

0.28 (28%) * 20 = 5.6
