Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Variance \(=E\left(X^2\right)-(E(X))^2\) \[ \begin{aligned} & \because \quad \text { Sum of } P\left(x=x_i\right)=1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8}+3 k+k=1 \Rightarrow k=\frac{1}{8} \end{aligned} \] and the variance…
