Statistical Inference — expectation of a mixture distribution

Let x1=173,x2=103,x3=133,x4=4x_1=\frac{17}{3},x_2=\frac{10}{3},x_3=\frac{13}{3},x_4=4 be the observed values of a random sample of size 4 from the distribution having pdf f(x,θ)=13[12θe−x2θ+1θ2e−xθ2+e−x]f(x,\theta)=\frac{1}{3}\left[\frac{1}{2\theta}e^{-\frac{x}{2\theta}}+\frac{1}{\theta^2}e^{-\frac{x}{\theta^2}}+e^{-x}\right]; x>0,θ>0x>0,\theta>0. What is E(X)E(X) equal to?
