A restaurant offers hamburgers with one, two, or three patties. Let X represent the number of patties a randomly chosen customer orders on their hamburger. Based on previous data, here's the probability distribution of X along with summary statistics:

X=# of patties 1 2 3

P (X) 0.40 0.50 0.10

Mean: μX =1.7

Standard deviation: σX ≈0.67

    The mean price a randomly chosen customer pays for her or his burger is US$ 3.40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's find out the mean of T (total price a randomly chosen customer pays for their burger), this way:

    Mean of T = 0.4 * $ 2 + 0.5 * $ 4 + 0.1 * $ 6

    Mean of T = 0.8 + 2 + 0.6

    Mean of T = US$ 3.40

    The mean price a randomly chosen customer pays for her or his burger is US$ 3.40
