Topic 3: Computing the Mean of a Discrete Probability
Distribution

Direction: Compute the Mean of the following. Show your complete solution on
the space provided. Round off your answers to the nearest hundredths
(two decimal places). Box your final answer.

1. In a class, the probabilities that there would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 absentees

are 0.21, 0.17, 0.15, 0.13, 0.12, 0.10, 0.08, 0.04. Find the average number of
absentees.

2. Find the mean of the probability distribution of the random variable X, which
can take only the values of 3, 5, and 7, given that 𝑃(3) = 10⁄33 , 𝑃(5) = 15⁄33,
and 𝑃(7) = 8⁄33.

3. The probabilities of a machine manufacturing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 defective parts

in one day are 0.75, 0.17, 0.04, 0.025, 0.01, and 0.005 respectively. Find the
mean of the probability distribution.
