Probability Distributions

Question:

If $\mu $ is mean of random variable X, with probability distribution

x 0 1 2
P(X=x) $\frac{4}{9}$ $\frac{4}{9}$ $\frac{1}{9}$

then value of $9 \mu + 4 $ is :

Options:

4

9

10

17

Correct Answer:

10

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 10

The mean $μ=E(X)$ is,

$E(X)=∑xP(X=x)$

$=0×\frac{4}{9}+1×\frac{4}{9}+2×\frac{1}{9}$

$=\frac{2}{3}$

$9μ+4=9×(\frac{2}{3})+4$

$=6+4=10$
