The probability distribution of a random variable X is given as:
The mean of the distribution is: |
$\frac{14}{5}$ $\frac{14}{3}$ $\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{17}{6}$ |
$\frac{14}{5}$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{14}{5}$ $\sum P(X=x)=1 \Rightarrow k+2k+4k+6k+7k=20k=1$ $k=\frac{1}{20}$ $E(X)=\sum xP(X)$ $=0\cdot k+1\cdot2k+2\cdot4k+3\cdot6k+4\cdot7k$ $=2k+8k+18k+28k=56k$ $=56\cdot\frac{1}{20}=\frac{14}{5}$ The mean is $\frac{14}{5}$. |
