2-14 A student taking Management Science 301 at East Haven University will receive one of the five possible grades for the course: A, B, C, D, or F. The distribution of grades over the past 2 years is as follows: Assume the value of an A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0 and answer the following questions: What is the probability of getting a “C”? What is the Expected Value (or mean) of the distribution?
