If mean of \(X\) is 4.2 , then \(a\) and \(b\) are respectively equal to

  1. A \(0.3,0.2\)
  2. B \(0.1,0.4\)
  3. C \(0.1,0.2\)
  4. D \(0.2,0.1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.1,0.2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text { We have } \) \( {rlrl} \Sigma P_j =a+a+a+b+b+0.3 \\ \Rightarrow 1 =3 a+2 b+0.3 \\ \Rightarrow 3 a+2 b =0.7 \\ \sum P_j x_j =a+2 a+3 a+4 b+5 b+1.8 \\ \Rightarrow 4.2 =6 a+9 b+1.8 \\ \Rightarrow 2 a+3 b =0.8 \) Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \( a=0.1, b=0.2 \)
