"Now suppose that each value has a different probability of happening. Say 1 has an 80% chance of occurring, 3 has an 15% chance, and 5 has only a 5% chance. In this case we compute the expected value by multiplying each value of $x$ by the percent chance of it occurring, and summing the result. So for this case we could compute\n",
