### Question 10

**Find the mean of the following probability distribution:**

| \( x \) | \( P(x) \)  |
|--------|-------------|
| 0      | 0.4386      |
| 1      | 0.3276      |
| 2      | 0.0299      |
| 3      | 0.0192      |
| 4      | 0.1847      |

**Mean Calculation:**
- The mean of a probability distribution is calculated using the formula:
  \[
  \text{Mean} = \sum x_i \cdot P(x_i)
  \]
- Perform the calculations for each \( x \) value and sum them to find the mean.

**Answer Box:**
- **Mean =** [Enter result rounded to one decimal place]
