The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( K \) in the given probability distribution of the discrete random variable \( X \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the probability distribution The probability distribution is given as: - \( P(X=2) = \frac{5}{K} \) - \( P(X=3) = \frac{7}{K} \) - \( P(X=4) = \frac{9}{K} \) - \( P(X=5) = \frac{11}{K} \) ### Step 2: Set up the equation for total probability The sum of all probabilities must equal 1: \[ P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) = 1 \] Substituting the probabilities: \[ \frac{5}{K} + \frac{7}{K} + \frac{9}{K} + \frac{11}{K} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Combine the fractions Since all terms have a common denominator \( K \), we can combine them: \[ \frac{5 + 7 + 9 + 11}{K} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the sum of the numerators Now, calculate the sum of the numerators: \[ 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 32 \] ### Step 5: Set up the equation Now we have: \[ \frac{32}{K} = 1 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( K \) To find \( K \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ 32 = K \] Thus, the value of \( K \) is: \[ K = 32 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( K \) is \( 32 \). ---
