Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

The mean of a probability distribution is calculated using the fomrula below


\mu=\sum_^xP(x)

By substituting the values, we will have


\begin{gathered} \mu=\sum_^xP(x) \\ \mu=(0*0.2)+(1*0.3)+(2*0.2)+(3*0.3) \\ \mu=0+0.3+0.4+0.9 \\ \mu=1.6 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer is


1.6
