1

Problem

The random variable X has a probability distribution P(X) of the following form,where k is some number
Find P(X<2)?

2

Formula:

Sum of the probabilites = 1

3

Step

Finding the value of k

\$\sum_{i=0}^3 P(X) = 1\$

4

Step

Expand \$\sum_{i=0}^3 P(X)\$

P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

5

Step

Simplification

\$k + 2k + 3k + k = 1\$

6

Step

Value of

\$7k = 1\$ ⇒ \$k = 1/7\$

7

Step

Finding the P(X<2)

P(X<2) = P(X=0)+P(X=1)

8

Step

Simplification

P(X<2) = k + 2k

9

Step

After simplification

P(X<2) = 3k

10

Step

Substitute \$k = 1/7\$

\$P(X<2) = 3(1/7)\$

11

Step

After simplification

P(X<2) = 0.42

12

Hint

0 < \$p_i\$ < 1 Condition is satisfied
