# State whether the following is True or False : The p.m.f. of a r.v. X is P(x) = 2xn(n+1) , x = 1, 2, ……. n = 0 ,otherwise Then E(x) = 2n+13 - Mathematics and Statistics

MCQ
True or False

State whether the following is True or False :

The p.m.f. of a r.v. X is P(x) = (2x)/("n"("n" + 1)) , x = 1, 2, ……. n
= 0                  ,otherwise
Then E(x) = (2"n" + 1)/(3)

• True

• False

#### Solution

 X 1 2 3 .... n P(X) (2)/("n"("n" + 1) (4)/("n"("n" + 1) (6)/("n"("n" + 1) .... (2"n")/("n"("n" + 1)

E(X) = sumx_1*"p"(x_"i")

= 1.(2)/("n"("n" + 1)) + 2.(4)/("n"("n" + 1)) + 3.(6)/("n"("n" + 1)) + .... + "n". (2"n")/("n"("n" + 1)

= (2"n")/("n"("n" + 1))(1 + 4 + 9 + ... + "n"^2)

= (2"n")/("n"("n" + 1))(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + ... +  "n"^2)

= (2"n")/("n"("n" + 1))("n"("n" + 1)(2"n" + 1))/(6)

= (2"n" + 1)/(3) is True.
