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.

The predicted winning point margin was based on Las Vegas betting odds approximately
one week before the bowl games were played. For example, Auburn was predicted to beat
Northwestern in the Outback Bowl by five points. The actual winning point margin for Au-
burn was three points. A…
