A random variable \(X\) has the following probability distribution
x-2-10123
p0.1k0.22k0.3k

Then the mean of X is :

  1. A 0.3
  2. B 0.8
  3. C 0.6
  4. D 0.7
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \sum P(X=x) = 1 \) \( 0.1 + k + 0.2 + 2k + 0.3 + k = 1 \) \( 0.6 + 4k = 1 \) \( 4k = 0.4 \) \( k = 0.1 \) \( E[X] = \sum x P(X=x) \) \( E[X] = (-2)(0.1) + (-1)(0.1) + (0)(0.2) + (1)(2 \times 0.1) + (2)(0.3) + (3)(0.1) \) \( E[X] = -0.2 - 0.1 + 0 + 0.2 + 0.6 + 0.3 \)…
