Expected recorded score


An instructor has given a short quiz consisting of two parts. For a randomly selected student, let X = the number of points earned on the first part and Y = the number of points earned on the second part. Suppose that the joint pmf of X and Y is given in the accompanying table.

p(xy)

    
  0      5      10      15   
x 0 0.01 0.06 0.02 0.10
5 0.04 0.14 0.20 0.10
10 0.01 0.15 0.16 0.01

(a) If the score recorded in the grade book is the total number of points earned on the two parts, what is the expected recorded score E(X + Y)? (Enter your answer to one decimal place.)

(b) If the maximum of the two scores is recorded, what is the expected recorded score? (Enter your answer to two decimal places.)
