The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the constant \( C \) such that the probabilities \( P(x=k) = \frac{3^{Ck}}{k!} \) form a valid probability distribution. This means that the sum of all probabilities must equal 1. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write the Probability Function:** The probability function is given as: \[ P(x=k) = \frac{3^{Ck}}{k!} \] for \( k = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \) 2. **Sum the Probabilities:** We need to find the sum of all probabilities: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} P(x=k) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{3^{Ck}}{k!} \] 3. **Recognize the Series:** The series \( \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^k}{k!} \) is the Taylor series expansion for \( e^x \). Therefore, we can rewrite our sum: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{3^{Ck}}{k!} = e^{3^C} - 1 \] (Note: We start from \( k=1 \) so we subtract the \( k=0 \) term which is 1.) 4. **Set the Sum Equal to 1:** For the probabilities to sum to 1, we set: \[ e^{3^C} - 1 = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ e^{3^C} = 2 \] 5. **Solve for \( C \):** Taking the natural logarithm of both sides: \[ 3^C = \ln(2) \] Now, we can solve for \( C \): \[ C = \frac{\ln(2)}{3} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of the constant \( C \) is: \[ C = \frac{\ln(2)}{3} \]
