MHT CET · Maths · Probability
A random variable \(X\) takes the values.
0,1,2,3,........ with probability
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=x)=\mathrm{k}(x+1)\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^x\), where k is a constant. Then \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=0)\) is
- A \(\frac{16}{25}\)
- B \(\frac{7}{25}\)
- C \(\frac{19}{25}\)
- D \(\frac{18}{25}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{16}{25}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \sum_{x=0}^{\infty} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=x) = 1 \) \( \mathrm{k} \sum_{x=0}^{\infty} (x+1)\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^x = 1 \)
