The random variable X has a probability distribution P(X) of the following form, where k is some number :
`P(X)={{:(k, "if " x=0),(2k, "if " x=1),(3k, "if " x=2),(0, "otherwise"):}`
(a) Determine the value of k.
(b) Find `P (X lt 2), P (X le 2), P(X ge 2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) `k=(1)/(6)` (b)`P(X lt 2)=(1)/(2), P(X le 2)=1, P(X ge 2)=(1)/(2)`
