    If a random variable X has the distribution given below, then the value of c is
    \[x=k\] \[-2\] \[-1\] \[0\] \[1\] \[2\] \[3\]
    \[P(X=k)\] \[\frac{1}{10}\] \[\frac{1}{10}\] \[2c\] \[\frac{3}{10}\] \[\frac{1}{5}\] \[c\]

    A)  \[1/5\]           

    B)  \[2/5\]

    C)  \[1/10\]          

    D)  \[3/10\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know, sum of probability distribution is 1. \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+2c+\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{5}+c=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[3c+\frac{7}{10}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[3c=\frac{3}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[c=\frac{1}{10}\]
