Suppose that you toss a fair six-sided {1,2,3,4,5,6} die and let X represent the outcome obtained. Find the expected volume of a box that has a height of 24 inches and a square base with side length X inches.

The expected volume of the box is 364 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the die is fair, then P(X=k) = 1/6 for any k in {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Let Y represent the volume of the box in cubic inches. For how the box is formed, Y = X²*24. Thus, the value of Y depends directly on the value of X, and we have

As a consequence, the expected volume of the box in cubic inches is

E(Y) = 1/6 * 24 + 1/6*96 + 1/6*216+ 1/6*384+ 1/6*600+1/6*864 = 364

goog may be able to you find that answer

the answer is "add 2y and y"

step-by-step explanation:

you need to collect the like terms first.
