JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

A random variable \(X\) has the following probability distribution
\(X\) \(1\) \(2\) \(3\) \(4\) \(5\)
\(P(X)\) \(K^2\) \(2K\) \(K\) \(2K\) \(5K^2\)
Then \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}> 2)\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{7}{12}\)
  2. B \(\frac{23}{36}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{36}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{23}{36}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sum P(X)=1 \Rightarrow K^{2}+2 K+K+2 K+5 K^{2}=1\) \(\Rightarrow 6 \mathrm{K}^{2}+5 \mathrm{K}-1=0 \Rightarrow(6 \mathrm{K}-1)(\mathrm{K}+1)=0\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}=-1\) (rejected) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}=\frac{1}{6}\)…
