Define a random variable x = number of cups of coffee consumed on an average day. Let
x=4 represent four or more cups.
a. Develop a probability distribution for x.
b. Compute the expected value of x.
c. Compute the variance of x.
d. Suppose we are only interested in adults who drink at least one cup of coffee on an
average day. For this group, let y = the number of cups of coffee consumed on an
average day. Compute the expected value of y and compare it to the expected value of x.
