Step 1
E(X) - Expected Value: The expected value of a random integer from the set {1,2, N} can be calculated as the average of all possible values. Since the set contains N integers, the average value is (1+2+...+N)/N, which is equal to (N+1)/2. Therefore, E(X) = Show more…

If $X$ is a discrete uniform random variable - that is, $P(X=k)=1 / n$ for $k=$ $1,2, \ldots, n-$ find $E(X)$ and $\operatorname{Var}(X)$
An item is selected randomly from a collection labeled 1,2,...,n. Denote its label by Y. Now select an integer X uniformly at random from {1,...,Y}. Find: (a) E(X); (b) E(X^2); (c) Var(X); (d) P(Y + X = 3). You may freely use: sum_{k=1}^n k = 1/2 n (n + 1) and sum_{k=1}^n k^2 = 1/6 n (2n + 1) (n + 1) = (2n^3 + 3n^2 + n) / 6.
