Let y be a random variable with p(y) given in the accompanying table. find e(y ), e(1/y ), e(y 2 − 1), and v(y ). y 1 2 3 4 p(y) .4 .3 .2 .1

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
