Step 1 :First, we need to calculate the expected value for each distribution.
Step 2 :For distribution a), we have the following formula: \(E(X) = \sum x_i P(x_i)\)
Step 3 :So, \(E(X) = (-21)(0.27) + (-13)(0.17) + (4)(0.32) + (15)(0.10) + (26)(0.14)\)
Step 4 :Calculating the sum, we get \(E(X) = -5.67 - 2.21 + 1.28 + 1.5 + 3.64 = -1.46\)
Step 5 :For distribution b), we have the following formula: \(E(Y) = \sum y_i P(y_i)\)
Step 6 :So, \(E(Y) = (-20)(\frac{3}{10}) + (50)(\frac{1}{10})\)
Step 7 :Calculating the sum, we get \(E(Y) = -6 + 5 = -1\)
Step 8 :Now, we have the expected values for both distributions: \(E(X) = -1.46\) and \(E(Y) = -1\)
Step 9 :\(\boxed{E(X) = -1.46, E(Y) = -1}\)
