The expected value of the discrete random variable X is

Multiple choice question.

always equal to one of the possible values of X.

a weighted average of all possible values of X.

a measure that indicates how the various values are dispersed from the mean.

the most probable value of X.

The correct answer is: a weighted average of all possible values of X.

The expected value of a discrete random variable X is a weighted average of all possible values of X. Therefore, the correct answer is "a weighted average of all possible values of X."
