The discrete random variable X has the probability distribution function shown below. Find $E(X).$ [closed]
$begingroup$
when $x = 0$, $ Pr[X = x] = 2/9,$
when $x = 1$, $Pr[X = x] =4/9,$
when $x = 2$ , $Pr[X = x]= 1/3$
probability

Why not try computing using the formula $sum_k x_k p_k$?

$$ E(X) = 0cdot P(X=0)+1cdot P(X=1)+2cdot P(X=2)$$ $$= 0+1cdot {4over 9}+ 2cdot {1over 3} = {10over 9}$$
