Question

The probabilities that a printer produces 0,1,2, and 3 misprints are 42%,28%,18%, and 12% respectively. What is the value of mean?

Answer 1

The value of the mean is 1.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, we need to multiply each value by its corresponding probability and then sum them up:

mean = (0 * 0.42) + (1 * 0.28) + (2 * 0.18) + (3 * 0.12) = 0 + 0.28 + 0.36 + 0.36 = 1.00

Therefore, the value of the mean is 1.00.
