Possible values of X, the number of components in a system submitted for repair that must be replaced, are 1, 2, 3, and 4 with corresponding probabilities .15, .35, .35, and .15, respectively. a. Calculate E(X) and then E(5 2 X). b. Would the repair facility be better off charging a flat fee of $75 or else the amount $[150/(5 2 X)]

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that possible values of X, the number of components in a system submitted for repair that must be replaced, are 1, 2, 3, and 4 with corresponding probabilities .15, .35, .35, and .15, respectively
To find E(x)
To find E(5.2x)
By linear property ofExpectation we have
E(5.2x) =
---
Flat fee of 75 would incur a cost of 75*2.5 = 187.50
Instead 150 (5.2x) would incur on an average = 150
The second one is preferred as it shows cost to be lower.
