उत्तर

a. The table gives a probability distribution and therefore P[X = 0] + P[X = 1] + P[X = 2] + P[X = 3] + P[X = 4] = 1

i.e., 0.1 + k + 2k + 2k + k = 1

i.e., 6k = 0.9

∴ k = 0.15

k = 0.15

b. P[X < 2] = P[X = 0] + P[X = 1]

= 0.1 + k

= 0.1 + 0.15

= 0.25

c. P[X ≥ 3] = P[X = 3] + P[X = 4]

= 2k + k

= 3k

= 3(0.15)

= 0.45

d. P[1 ≤ X < 4] = P[X = 1] + P[X = 2] + P[X = 3]

= k + 2k + 2k

= 5k

= 5(0.15)

= 0.75

e. P(2) = P[X ≤ 2] = P[X = 0] + P[X = 1] + P[X = 2]

= 0.1 + k + 2k

= 0.1 + 3k

= 0.1 + 0.45

= 0.55
