2. Consider rolling an unfair 4-sided die; that is, each number 1,2,3 and 4 does not have the same probability of being rolled. Let \( X \) be the number faced up when the die rolls once. The probability mass function, \( f_{X}(x) \) of \( X \) is as follows. \( f_{X}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}0.2 & \text { if } x=1 \\ 0.1 & \text { if } x=2 \\ 0.3 & \text { if } x=3 \\ 0.4 & \text { if } x=4 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right. \) (a) Find the expected value, \( \mathbb{E}[X] \), of \( X \).
