PPT-LO: To calculate the theoretical mean of a discrete random variable.

Expected value for discrete data 2 July 2020 The theoretical mean μ of a discrete random variable X is the average value that we should expect for X over many trial of the experiment. RANDOM VARIABLES Definition usually denoted as X or Y or even Z and it is th e numerical outcome of a random process Example random process The number of heads in 10 tosses of a coin Example The number 5 rating QSCI 381 – Lecture 12.
