  • question_answer
    A random variable has the following probability distribution
    X: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    P(x) 0 2p 2p 3p \[{{p}^{2}}\] \[2{{p}^{2}}\] \[7{{p}^{2}}\] 2p

    A) \[\frac{1}{10}\]

    B) -1

    C) \[\frac{3}{10}\]

    D) None

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\Sigma p(x)=1\Rightarrow 9p+10{{p}^{2}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow 10{{p}^{2}}+9p-1=0\Rightarrow p=-1or\frac{1}{10}\] \[\therefore p=\frac{1}{10}\]
