The probability distribution of a random variable \(X\) is given by
\(\begin{array}{lcllll}x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ p(x) & 0.1 & k & 2 k & 2 k & k \end{array} \)
The value of \(k\) is:

  1. A 0
  2. B 0.1
  3. C 1
  4. D \(\frac{3}{20}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{3}{20}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sum p(x) = 1\) \(0.1 + k + 2k + 2k + k = 1\) \(0.1 + 6k = 1\) \(6k = 1 - 0.1\) \(6k = 0.9\) \(k = \frac{0.9}{6}\) \(k = \frac{9}{60}\) \(k = \frac{3}{20}\)
