MCQ
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:
  • A
    $\frac{1}{8},\frac{22}{27}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{8},\frac{23}{27}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{8},\frac{24}{27}$
  • $\frac{1}{8},\frac{3}{4}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{8},\frac{3}{4}$

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

$\text{x}$ $\text{P}(\text{x})$ $\text{x}\text{P}(\text{x})$ $\text{x}^2\text{P}(\text{x})$
$0$ $\frac{1}{8}$ $0$ $0$
$1$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $\frac{3}{8}$
$2$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $\frac{6}{8}$ $\frac{12}{8}$
$3$ $\frac{1}{8}$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $\frac{9}{8}$
$\text{Total}$   $\text{E(x)}=\frac{12}{8}=1.5$ $\text{E}(\text{x}^2)=3$
$\text{V(x)}=\text{E}(\text{x}^2)-[\text{E}(\text{x})^2]$
$\text{V(x)}=3-(1.5)^2$
$\text{V(x)}=0.75=\frac{3}{4}$
