Consider the probability distribution of a random variable x. Is the expected value of the distribution necessarily one of the possible values of x? Yes. The expected value can never be a value from the exact value of x.Yes. The expected value must always be one of its possible values of x. No. The expected value will never be one of its possible values of x.No. The expected value can be a value different from the exact value of x.
