Let \(X\) denote the number of hours you study on a Sunday. It is known that.
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{x})=\left\{\begin{array}{cl}
0 \cdot 1 & , \text { if } x=0 \\
\mathrm{k} x & , \text { if } x=1 \text { or } 2 \\
\mathrm{k}(5-x) & , \text { if } x=3 \text { or } 4 \\
0 & , \text { otherwise }
\end{array}\right.\)
where k is constant. Then the probability that you study at least two hours on a Sunday is
- A \(0.55\)
- B \(0.15\)
- C \(0.75\)
- D \(0.3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(0.75\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\sum P(X=x) = 1\) \(0.1 + k(1) + k(2) + k(5-3) + k(5-4) = 1\)
