HSS.MD Tutor Intake - Random Variables, Expected Value, and Decisions

This short diagnostic helps your tutor see where to start in the Using-Probability-to-Make-Decisions unit. Every topic here is advanced (STEM-track) material, so a few items assume you have opted into it. Answer each question on your own, without help. If you are unsure, give your best attempt - a wrong answer still tells your tutor what to review.

A spinner pays 1, 1, 1, or 10 points on four equally likely regions,
so P(X=1)=34P(X = 1) = \frac{3}{4} and P(X=10)=14P(X = 10) = \frac{1}{4}. Compute the
expected value E(X)E(X).
