We begin by identifying the marginal probabilities for X from the joint distribution.
First, sum the probabilities for X = 1 across all Y: 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.05 = 0.65. This gives P(X = 1) = 0.65.
Next, sum the probabilities for X = 2 across all Y: 0.15 + 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.35. This yields P(X = 2) = 0.35.
Now, recall that the expected value of X is E[X] = Σ x · P(X = x). Since X takes values 1 and 2, we compute:
E[X] = 1 · P(X = 1) + 2 · P(X = 2) = 1 · 0.65 + 2 · 0.35.
Carrying out the arithmetic: 1 · 0.65 = 0.65 and 2 · 0.35 = 0.70, so E[X] = 0.65 + 0.70 = 1.35.
When rounding to two decimal places, the result remains 1.35. 
Thus, the expected value E(X) is 1.35.
