Passage
Let the random variable represent the number of trials required to achieve a certain outcome in an experiment, where . The probability that the outcome occurs in 1 to 5 trials is each, while the probability that it takes 6 trials is . A random sample of five independent observations of is recorded as: . Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
The experiment is considered efficient if the expected number of trials required to achieve the outcome is at most 4. Using the estimated value of , determine whether this requirement is satisfied.
