Question:

A discrete random variable X has the following probability distribution:

the value of C will be :

Options:

0.2

0.09

0.16

0.1

Correct Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

C + 2C + 2C + 3C + C2 + 2C2 + 7C2 + C = 1

$\Rightarrow 10C^2 + 9C - 1 = 0$

$ \Rightarrow 10C^2 + 10C - C -1 =0$

$ \Rightarrow 10C( C+ 1) -1 (C +1)= 0$

$ C \ne -1 \Rightarrow C = \frac{1}{10}$
