Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:- Given the random variable X has the discrete uniform distribution

ƒ(x) = 1/4 , x= 3,4,5,6 

f(x) = 0 , otherwise 

Now, calculating the table below, 

X P(x)  x*P(x) x2*P(x)
3 (1/4 =) 0.25 0.75 2.25
4 0.25 1.00 4.00
5 0.25 1.25 6.25
6 0.25 1.50 9.00
Total 1 4.50 21.50
