Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 6 red and 8 black balls. Suppose that we win ₹ 15 for each red ball selected and we lose ₹ 10 for each black ball selected. X denotes the winning amount, then find the values of X and number of points in its inverse images
The discrete random variable X has the probability function.
| Value of X = x |
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| P(x) | 0 | k | 2k | 2k | 3k | k2 | 2k2 | 7k2 + k |
If P(X ≤ x) > `1/2`, then find the minimum value of x.
The length of time (in minutes) that a certain person speaks on the telephone is found to be random phenomenon, with a probability function specified by the probability density function f(x) as
