The expected value for the number of cups is 1.881 cups
The formula for the expected value is :
Taking the product of each pair :
(0 * 0.024) = 0
(1 * 0.423) = 0.423
(2 * 0.291) = 0.582
(3 * 0.172) = 0.516
(4 * 0.090) = 0.360
Taking the sum ;
(0 + 0.423 + 0.582 + 0.516 + 0.360)
= 1.881
The expected value for the number of cups is 1.881 cups.
