A random variable XX has the following probability distribution:

XX 00 11 22 33 44
P(X)P\left(X\right) kk 2k2k 4k4k 6k6k 8k8k

The value of P(1<x<4x≤2)P\left(\dfrac{1 < x < 4}{x \le 2}\right)is equal to

Options

  1. A47\dfrac{4}{7}
  2. B23\dfrac{2}{3}
  3. C37\dfrac{3}{7}
  4. D45\dfrac{4}{5}

Correct answer

A. 47\dfrac{4}{7}

Step-by-step solution

To find $P(1<x<4x≤2)P\left(\dfrac{1 < x < 4}{x \le 2}\right) or P(AB)P\left(\dfrac{A}{B}\right)

We know that

P(AB)=P(A∩B)P(B)P\left(\dfrac{A}{B}\right) = \dfrac{P\left(A \cap B\right)}{P\left(B\right)}

Given

xx 00 11 22 33 44
P(x)P\left(x\right) kk 2k2k 4k4k 6k6k 8k8k

P(A)={2,3}P\left(A\right) = \left\{2, 3\right\}

P(B)={0,1,2}P\left(B\right) = \left\{0, 1, 2\right\}

P(A∩B)=P(x=2)P\left(A \cap B\right) = P\left(x = 2\right)

P(B)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)P\left(B\right) = P\left(x = 0\right) + P\left(x = 1\right) + P\left(x = 2\right)

So P(AB)=P(x=2)P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)P\left(\dfrac{A}{B}\right) = \dfrac{P\left(x = 2\right)}{P\left(x = 0\right) + P\left(x = 1\right) + P\left(x = 2\right)}

=4kk+2k+4k=4k7k=47= \dfrac{4k}{k + 2k + 4k} = \dfrac{4k}{7k} = \dfrac{4}{7}

Hence option $A is correct.
