If the probability distribution of a random variable X is given by
Options
- A3
- B9 4
- C3 2
- D3 4
Correct answer
D. 3 4
Step-by-step solution
Variance =E (X^2 )-(E(X))^2 aligned & Sum of P (x=x_i )=1 & 1 8 + 3 8 +3 k+k=1 k= 1 8 aligned and the variance aligned =[( & . .0^2 1 8 )+ (1^2 3 8 )+ (2^2 3 8 )+ (3^2 1 8 ) ] & - [ (0 1 8 )+ (1 3 8 )+ (2 3 8 )+ (3 1 8 ) ]^2 = & [ 3 8 + 12 8 + 9 8 ]- [ 3 8 + 6 8 + 3 8 ]^2 = & 24 8 - ( 12 8 )^2=3- ( 3 2 )^2=3- 9 4 = 12-9 4 = 3 4 aligned
