The probability distribution is given below:

[tex]\left|\begin{array}{c|ccccc}Outcome& 0& 1& 5& 10& 1000\\Probability& 0.33& 0.32& 0.24& 0.10& 0.01\end{array}\right|[/tex]

Answer:

C. 12.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the probability distribution below:

[tex]\left|\begin{array}{c|ccccc}Outcome& 0& 1& 5& 10& 1000\\Probability& 0.33& 0.32& 0.24& 0.10& 0.01\end{array}\right|[/tex]

Expected Value of the random variable

=(0 X 0.33)+(1 X 0.32) +(5 X 0.24) +(10 X 0.10) + (1000 X 0.01)

=0+ 0.32+1.2+1+10

=12.52
