ANSWER:
2nd option: 4/25
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
To find the expected value of the distribution, we multiply each outcome by its probability and the sum of this would be the expected value, like so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} E(x)=0\cdot\frac{9}{10}+1\cdot\frac{1}{20}+2\cdot\frac{1}{25}+3\cdot\frac{1}{100} \\ \\ E(x)=0+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{2}{25}+\frac{3}{100} \\ \\ E(x)=\frac{5}{100}+\frac{8}{100}+\frac{3}{100}=\frac{16}{100}=\frac{4}{25} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is the 2nd option: 4/25
