From the table below, find Prof. Aker’s expected mean lateness. (5 points)
Lateness P(Lateness)
On time (0 minutes) 4/5
10 minutes 1/10
20 minutes 1/20
30 minutes 1/20

mean lateness =  +  +  +  = 0 + 1 + 1 + 1.5 = 3.5 minutes.


Nothing complicated - simply use the definition of the mean value of the given distribution.
