Question
If a random variable $x$ has the probability distribution
| x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $$p(x)$$ | 0 | 2 k | k | 3 k | $$2k^{2}$$ | 2 k | $$k^{2} + k$$ | $$7k^{2}$$ |
then $P(3 < x \leq 6)$ is equal to
Options
A.0.34
B.0.22
C.0.64
D.0.33
Solution
$\ \sum P\left( x_{i} \right) = 1$
$${\Rightarrow 9k + 10k^{2} = 1 }{\Rightarrow 10k^{2} + 9k - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow k = \frac{1}{10} }{P(3 < x \leq 6) = 3k + 3k^{2} }{= \frac{3}{10} + \frac{3}{100} = 0.33 }{= 0.33 }$$
