6. The probability distribution of the random variable $\xi$ is given in the table below:
$\mathbf { x }$7$\mathbf { 8 }$$\mathbf { 9 }$$\mathbf { 1 0 }$
$\mathbf { P } ( \xi = x )$0.30.350.20.15

Then the expected value of the random variable $\xi$ is $\_\_\_\_$ $8.2$
Analysis: This examines the definition of expected value. $\mathrm { E } \xi = 7 \times 0.3 + 8 \times 0.35 + 9 \times 0.2 + 10 \times 0.15 = 8.2$
(5 points) As shown in the figure, a point P moves counterclockwise on a circle of radius 2. Its initial position is $P _ { 0 } ( \sqrt { 2 } , - \sqrt { 2 } )$, and its angular velocity is 1. Then the distance $d$ from point P to the $x$-axis as a function of time $t$ has a graph approximately as follows:
