  2. B \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{6}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{8}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{4}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sum_{x=-2}^3 P(X=x)=1\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{10}+k+\frac{2}{10}+k+\frac{3}{10}+k+\frac{3}{10}+k+\frac{4}{10}+k+\frac{2}{10}=1\) \(\Rightarrow 5 k+\frac{15}{10}=1 \Rightarrow k=\frac{-1}{10}\) So, probability distribution becomes…
