The probability distribution of discrete r.v. X is as follows :

x = x 1 2 3 4 5 6
P[x=x] k 2k 3k 4k 5k 6k

(i) Determine the value of k.

(ii) Find P(X≤4), P(2<X< 4), P(X≥3).

योग

उत्तर

(i) Since P (x) is a probability distribution of x,

`Sigma_(x = 0)^6 P(x) = 1`

∴ P (0) + P (1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P (6) = 1

∴ k + 2k + 3k + 4k + 5k + 6k = 1

∴ 21k = 1

∴ k = `1/21`

(ii)

P(X ≤ 4)

= P (0) + P (1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4)

=k + 2k + 3k + 4k

= `10k`

= `10 (1/21)`

= `10/21`

 P(2< X < 4)

= P(3)

= `3k`

= `3(1/21)`

= `1/7`

P(X ≥ 3)

= P (3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6)

= `3k + 4k + 5k + 6k`

= `18k`

= `18×1/21`= `6/7`
