A random variable \(\mathrm{X}\) takes the values 0,1 and 2. If \(P(X=1)=P(X=2)\) and \(P(X=0)=0.4\), then the mean of the random variable \(\mathrm{X}\) is

  1. A \(0.2\)
  2. B \(0.7\)
  3. C \(0.5\)
  4. D \(0.9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(P(X=1)=P(X=2)\) \[ \frac{\lambda^1}{1 !} e^\lambda=\frac{\lambda^2}{2 !} e^\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda=2 \] Also, \(P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)=1\)…
