A random variable X has the following probability distribution :
| X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| P(X) | C | 2C | 2C | 3C | C2 | 2C2 | 7C2+C |
Find the value of C and also calculate the mean of this distribution.
उत्तर
As `sum "P"("X") = 1`
∴ `"C" + 2"C" + 2"C" + 3"C" + "C"^2 + 2"C"^2 + 7"C"^2 + "C" = 1`
⇒ `10"C"^2 + 9"C" -1 = 0`
⇒ `(10"C" -1)("C" + 1)= 0`
∵ `"C" != -1`
so, `"C" = (1)/(10)`.
Also mean = `sum "X""P"("X") = 0 xx "C" + 1 xx 2"C" + 2 xx 2"C" + 3 xx 3"C" + 4 xx "C"^2 + 5 xx 2"C"^2 + 6 xx (7"C"^2 + "C")`
⇒ = `21"C" + 56"C"^2 = 56 xx (1)/(100) + 21 xx (1)/(10) = (266)/(100) or 2.66`.

Of the students in a college, it is known that 60% reside in hostel and 40% are day scholars (not residing in hostel). Previous year results report that 30% of all students who reside in hostel attain A grade and 20% of day scholars attain A grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the college and he has an A grade, what is the probability that the student is hostler?
