### Problem Statement
Each child born to a particular set of parents has a probability of 0.35 of having blood type B. Suppose these parents have 5 children. Let \( X \) be the number of children who have type B blood.

#### a) Create a Probability Distribution Table for \( X \)

The probability distribution table represents the likelihood of each possible outcome for the number of children (from 0 to 5) having blood type B.

#### b) Find \( E(X) \)
*(Hint: Note that it is a binomial distribution)*

To find \( E(X) \), which is the expected value or mean of \( X \) for a binomial distribution, use the formula:

\[ E(X) = n \times p \]

Where:
- \( n \) = number of trials (5 children)
- \( p \) = probability of success (0.35)

### Explanation
Since the task involves a binomial distribution, each child is an independent trial with two possible outcomes: having blood type B or not. The binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials.
