To find the expected value \( E(X) \) and variance \( Var(X) \) of the given probability mass function (PMF) of the random variable \( X \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the parameters of the PMF The given PMF is: \[ P(X = x) = \binom{4}{x} \left( \frac{5}{9} \right)^x \left( \frac{4}{9} \right)^{4-x}, \quad x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 \] This resembles the binomial distribution \( P(X = x) = \binom{n}{x} p^x (1-p)^{n-x} \) where: ...
