Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II) (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III) (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) |
(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV) |
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
Given probability distribution: $P(X=0) = k$, $P(X=1) = 2k$, $P(X=2) = 3k$, $P(X=3) = k^2$, $P(X=4) = 6k^2$ Sum of probabilities = 1: $k + 2k + 3k + k^2 + 6k^2 = 6k + 7k^2 = 1$ Solve quadratic: $7k^2 + 6k - 1 = 0$ Factor: $(7k - 1)(k + 1) = 0 \Rightarrow k = 1/7$ (since probability must be positive) Compute probabilities: (A) $k = 1/7 \Rightarrow$ (III) (B) $P(X<2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) = k + 2k = 3k = 3/7 \Rightarrow$ (I) (C) $P(X>3) = P(X=4) = 6k^2 = 6*(1/7)^2 = 6/49 \Rightarrow$ (II) (D) $P(2 \le X \le 3) = P(X=2) + P(X=3) = 3k + k^2 = 3/7 + 1/49 = 22/49 \Rightarrow$ (IV) |
