A random variable X has the following probability distribution :
X012345678
P(X)a3a5a7a9a11a13a15a17a
Then the values of ' \(a\) ' and \(P(0<X<5)\) respectively are :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{81}, \frac{8}{27}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{81}, \frac{4}{9}\)
  3. C 0, 0
  4. D \(\frac{1}{9}, \frac{4}{9}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{81}, \frac{8}{27}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sum P(X) = 1\) \((a + 3a + 5a + 7a + 9a + 11a + 13a + 15a + 17a) = 1\) \(81a = 1 \implies a = \frac{1}{81}\) \(P(0 \(P(0 \(P(0 \(P(0 Values of \(a\) and \(P(0 < X < 5)\) are \(\frac{1}{81}\) and \(\frac{8}{27}\) respectively.
