If in an experiment the probabilities of obtaining the values a1,a2,a3,a4, and a5are p1,P2,P3,P4 and P5,respectively,then the expected value is defined as a1p1+a2p2+a3p3+a4p4+a5p5.For the values and their corresponding probabilities in the table above,what is the expected value

A. 350
B. 320
C. 300
D. 270
E. 250

答案

参考答案:B

解析:若在某个实验中,得到值a1,a2,a3,a4和a5的概率分别为p1,p2,p3,P4和p5,那么期望值(expected value)被定义为a1p1+a2p2+a3P3+a4p4+a5p5,对于上面表格中的值及其相应的概率,问其期望值是多少
由题中所介绍的expected value的求法,考生可直接把表格中的数据代入公式计算:
100×0.1+200×0.25+300×0.2+400×0.25+500×0.2=320
