Question 9878 – GATE 1999

Suppose that the expectation of a random variable X is 5. Which of the following statements is true?

Correct Answer: C

Question 1 Explanation: 
Expectation of discrete random variable
E(X) = x1P1 + x2P2 + … + xnPn
In question, E(X) is given as 5.
E(X) = 5, 0≤Pi≤1
P1 + P2 + … + Pn = 1 [Probability]
Therefore, E(X) = 5 is possible only if atleast one of the xi value is greater than 5.
A
There is a sample point at which X has the value 5.
B
There is a sample point at which X has value greater than 5.
C
There is a sample point at which X has a value greater than or equal to 5.
D
None of the above
