  1. A \(\frac{1}{10}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{10}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{10}\)
  4. D \(\frac{9}{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(\mathrm{k}+2 \mathrm{k}+4 \mathrm{k}+2 \mathrm{k}+\mathrm{k}=10 \mathrm{k}=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Now \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X} \leq 2)=\mathrm{P}(0)+\mathrm{P}(1)+\mathrm{P}(2)=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{2}{10}\) \(+~\frac{4}{10}=\frac{7}{10}\)
