The probability distribution of a random discrete variable is given
X-10123
P(X)0.1p0.3qr
If it is known that \(P(X=1)\) is the mean of \(P(X=0)\) and \(P(X=2)\).Then the value of \(r\) is :

  1. A 0
  2. B 0.1
  3. C 0.2
  4. D 0.3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sum P(X) = 1 \implies 0.1 + p + 0.3 + q + r = 1\) \(p + q + r = 0.6\) (1) \(P(X=1) = \frac{P(X=0) + P(X=2)}{2} \implies 0.3 = \frac{p+q}{2}\) \(p + q = 0.6\) (2) \(0.6 + r = 0.6\) \(r = 0\)
