Question

46. Machine A produces 500 springs a day. The number of defective springs produced by this machine each day is recorded for 60 days. Based on the distribution given below, what is the expected value of the number of defective springs produced by Machine A in any single day?

F. 0.00
G. 0.45
H. 0.70
J. 1.00
K. 1.50​

Answer 1

Answer:

G. 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

To find expected value, you simply multiply the value of each outcome (the numbers in the left column) by its probability

(the numbers in the right column) and then add them all together.

0(0.7) + 1(0.2) + 2(0.05) + 3(0.05)

0 + 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.15 = 0.3 + 0.15 = 0.45
