To find: The expected value of the given random variable.
The expected value is 4.8.
Given:
6 will come up 60% of the time on a 6-sided weighted die and the remaining faces are equally likely to appear.
Concept used:
The expected value of a random variable is the sum of the products of the values of random variable with their corresponding probabilities.
Calculation:
Let
And,
Now, the expected value of the given random variable is,
Hence, the expected value is 4.8.
