Question

If $X$ is a random variable with probability distribution as given below$:$

$X = x_i$	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$
$P(X = X_i)$	$k$	$3k$	$3k$	$k$

The value of $k$ and its variance are$:$

✓

Answer

$\sum\limits_0^3\text{P}(\text{x})=1$
$\text{k}+3\text{k}+3\text{k}+\text{k}=1$
$\text{k}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\text{x}$	$\text{P}(\text{x})$	$\text{x}\text{P}(\text{x})$	$\text{x}^2\text{P}(\text{x})$
$0$	$\frac{1}{8}$	$0$	$0$
$1$	$\frac{3}{8}$	$\frac{3}{8}$	$\frac{3}{8}$
$2$	$\frac{3}{8}$	$\frac{6}{8}$	$\frac{12}{8}$
$3$	$\frac{1}{8}$	$\frac{3}{8}$	$\frac{9}{8}$
$\text{Total}$		$\text{E(x)}=\frac{12}{8}=1.5$	$\text{E}(\text{x}^2)=3$

$\text{V(x)}=\text{E}(\text{x}^2)-[\text{E}(\text{x})^2]$
$\text{V(x)}=3-(1.5)^2$
$\text{V(x)}=0.75$
$=\frac{3}{4}$
