Question

The expected value of  is E (  ) =  .

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement uses the concept of linearity of expectation where E(aX+b) = aE(X) + b. Here, a and b are constants while X is a random variable. Since 11eb6b9e_063a_496c_8d9d_53abd7b5422b_TB8220_11 and 11eb6b9e_063a_496d_8d9d_af74a44116dc_TB8220_11 differ only in one hexadecimal digit, we can see that their difference is a constant. Therefore, their expected values will also differ in only that constant, and E(11eb6b9e_063a_496d_8d9d_af74a44116dc_TB8220_11) = E(11eb6b9e_063a_496c_8d9d_53abd7b5422b_TB8220_11) + constant. Thus, the statement is true.
