Suppose the mathematical expectation is given with the corresponding probabilities and all amounts but one amount $a$. Solving for $a$ requires $E$ to be multiplied by a number.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mathematical expectation (expected value) is calculated by summing the products of each amount and its corresponding probability. To solve for an unknown amount $a$, you typically set up an equation based on the definition of expectation without necessarily multiplying $E$ by a number. Instead, you solve for $a$ using algebraic manipulation based on the given expected value and the other known amounts and their probabilities.
