Consider rolling a single die. The table shows the probability distribution of rolling a fair die where the random variable X is the number of dots. the mean was already solved. What is the implication of the value of the mean towards the given probability distribution? (5 points)

The probailities that a customer will buy 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 items in a mini mart are 3/10, 1/10, 1/10, 2/10, and 3/10 respectively. What is the average number of items that a customer will buy? Write the final answer in decimal form rounded up to 2 decimal place. (your answer must consist of the solved mean and the interpretation) (5 points)

The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 patients in a day are 0.15, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.30 respectively (you may look at the given table). Find the average number of patients that a surgeon operates on a given day. (your answer must consist of the solved mean and the interpretation) (5 points)
