2) Choose the correct answer.
A spinner has the following outcomes and probabilities. Find the expected value.

Answer

Expected Value Calculation:

The expected value (E) is calculated as follows:

  1. Outcome 1: Probability = 1/5, Contribution to E = 1 * (1/5) = 1/5
  2. Outcome 2: Probability = 1/5, Contribution to E = 2 * (1/5) = 2/5
  3. Outcome 3: Probability = 1/5, Contribution to E = 3 * (1/5) = 3/5
  4. Outcome 4: Probability = 1/5, Contribution to E = 4 * (1/5) = 4/5
  5. Outcome 5: Probability = 1/5, Contribution to E = 5 * (1/5) = 5/5

Total Expected Value, E = (1/5) + (2/5) + (3/5) + (4/5) + (5/5) = 15/5 = 3

Correct Answer: 3
