The probabilities that a batch of 4 computers will contain 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 defective computers are 0.4096, 0.4096, 0.1536, 0.0256, and 0.0016, respectively. Find the expected number of defective computers in a batch of 4.

And if we replace we got:

So we expect about 0.8 defective computes in a batch of 4 selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following distribution given:

X           0             1               2               3             4

P(X)  0.4096    0.4096    0.1536    0.0256    0.0016

And we satisfy that and so we have a probability distribution. And we can find the expected value with the following formula:

And if we replace we got:

So we expect about 0.8 defective computes in a batch of 4 selected.
