    0.91 DVDs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The expected number of DVDs is the sum of products of the number of DVDs and their probability:

    E (n) = 0·0.42 + 1·0.36 + 2·0.14 + 3·0.05 + 4·0.03

    = 0 + 0.36 + 0.28 + 0.15 + 0.12

    = 0.91

    A given customer can be expected to buy 0.91 DVDs.
