If X is a random-variable with probability distribution as given below:
The value of k and its variance are
The probability distribution of X is:
We Know that
Therefore
⇒ k+3k+3k+k=1
⇒ 8k=1
⇒ (1×k)+(2×3k)+(3×3k)+(4×k)
⇒ k+6k+9k+4k=20k
⇒ (12 ×k)+(22 ×3k)+(32 ×3k)+(42 ×k)
⇒ k+12k+27k+16k=56k
Var(X)=E(X2) - (E(X))2
