  1. A \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{129}{125}\)
  3. C \(\frac{9}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{174}{125}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{9}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( n=3, p=\frac{3}{3+2}=\frac{3}{5} \) \( E(X) = n \cdot p \) \( E(X) = 3 \cdot \frac{3}{5} \) \( E(X) = \frac{9}{5} \)
