JEE Main Mathematics Question (2026) — Solution

Question

The probability distribution of a random variable X is given below : \( array |c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c| X & 4k & 30 7 k & 32 7 k & 34 7 k & 36 7 k & 38 7 k & 40 7 k & 6k \\ P(X) & 2 15 & 1 15 & 2 15 & 1 5 & 1 15 & 2 15 & 1 5 & 1 15 \\ array \) If E ( X )= 263 15 , then P ( X <20) is equal to :

Options

  1. A. 11 15
  2. B. 3 5
  3. C. 14 15
  4. D. 8 15

Answer

A. 11 15

Step-by-step solution

E(X) = X_i P(X_i) = 526k 15 7 = 263 15 k = 7 2 Substituting k = 7 2 , the values of X become: X: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 P(X): 2 15 , 1 15 , 2 15 , 1 5 , 1 15 , 2 15 , 1 5 , 1 15 P(X = 2 15 + 1 15 + 2 15 + 1 5 + 1 15 + 2 15 = 11 15
