answer choices: a. 0.2 b. 0.4 c. 1 d. 3

The correct answer is D) 3.

The mean is 3

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A project is graded on a scale of 1 to 5.

If the random variable, X, is the project grade, we have to find  the mean of the probability distribution below

Since X takes values as 1,2,3,4,5

from the picture given we find the frequency distribution of X

X    1    2     3     4    5     Total

f     2    4     8     4    2       20

fx    2    8    24   16  10      60

Mean =60/20 =3

Hence answer is 3

the reporter's right

step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = .25 / 25%
