If X is random variable with probability distribution P(X=k)= (k+1) c 2^k , k=0,1,2, , then P(X 3)=
Options
- A1 4
- B5 16
- C5 11
- D3 16
Correct answer
B. 5 16
Step-by-step solution
gathered P(X=k)= (k+1) C 2^k , k=0,1,2, . P(X= k )= C (1+ 2 2 + 3 2^2 + 4 2^3 + ) 1=C (1+ 2 2 + 3 2^2 + 4 2^3 + ) 1 2 =C ( 1 2 + 2 2^2 + 3 2^3 + 4 2^4 + ) - - - - - 1 2 =C (1+ 1 2 + 1 2^2 + 1 2^3 ) C= 1 4 gathered Now, P(X 3)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)] =1- [C+ 2 C 2 + 3 C 4 ]=1- 11 C 4 =1- 11 16 = 5 16
