The discrete random variable X has the following probability function.
P(X = x) = `{{:("k"x, x = 2"," 4"," 6),("k"(x - 2), x = 8),(0, "otherwise"):}`
where k is a constant. Show that k = `1/18`

उत्तर
From the data
P(x = 2) = kx
= 2k
P(x = 4) = kx
= 4k
P(x = 6) = kx
= 6k
P(x = 8) = k(x – 2)
= k(8 – 2) = 6k
Since P(X = x) is a probability mass function
`sum_(x = 2)^8` P(X = x) = 1
`sum_("i" = 2)^oo` P(xi) = 1
i.e P(x = 2) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 6) + P(x = 8) = 1
2k + 4k + 6k + 6k = 1
18k = 1
∴ k = `1/18`
