The probability distribution of a discre...

The probability distribution of a discrete random variable X is given below

The value of k is

A

8

B

16

C

32

D

48

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We know that, `SigmaP(X)=1`
`rArr5/k+7/k+9/k+11/k=1`
`rArr32/k=1`
`therefore` k=32
