In a meeting, 70% of the members favour and 30% oppose a certain proposal.
A member is selected at random and we take X = 0 if he opposed, and X = 1 if he is in favour.
Then, E(X) is:

  1. A \(\frac{7}{10}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{7}{11}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{7}{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P(X=0) = 0.3 \) \( P(X=1) = 0.7 \) \( E(X) = (0 \times 0.3) + (1 \times 0.7) \) \( E(X) = 0 + 0.7 \) \( E(X) = 0.7 \) \( E(X) = \frac{7}{10} \)
