John is interested in purchasing a multi-office building containing five offices. The current owner provides the following probability distribution indicating the probability that the given number of offices will be leased each year.
| Number of Lease Offices | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Probability | 1/4 | 5/32 | 3/16 | 1/32 | 1/16 | 5/16 |
If each yearly lease is $12,000, how much could John expect to collect in yearly leases for the whole building in a given year?(in dollars)
a) E(X) = $29,250.00
b) E(X) = $29,150.00
c) E(X) = $29,300.00
d) E(X) = $29,320.00
e) E(X) = $29,310.00
