The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

We are given the following information:

  • \( E(X) = 6 \)
  • \( V(X) = 3 \)

We can use the formula for variance:

\[ V(X) = E(X^2) - (E(X))^2 \]

Substitute the given values:

\[ 3 = E(X^2) - (6)^2 \] \[ 3 = E(X^2) - 36 \]

Now solve for \( E(X^2) \):

\[ E(X^2) = 3 + 36 = 39 \]

Answer: 39
