A random variable has the following probability distribution:
The value of p is
The probability distribution of X is:
We Know that
Therefore,
⇒ 2p+2p+3p+p2 +2p2 +7p2 +2p=1
⇒ 10p2 +9p-1=0
⇒ 10p2 +10p-p-1=0
⇒ 10p(p+1)-1(p+1)=0
⇒ (10p-1)(p+1)
10p-1=0 or p+1=0
We considered because p is a probability and probability cannot be in negative
Option (B) is incorrect because p is a probability and probability cannot be in negative
Option (C) is incorrect because p is a probability and probability cannot be in negative
Option (D) is incorrect because by putting , the sum total of pxi is not equal to 1
