The probability distribution of a random variable x is given below.
| x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P(x) | k/3 | k/2 | k/4 | k/7 |
Then the value of k is
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
For any probability distribution, all probabilities must add up to 1.
To add these fractions, find the LCM of the denominators 3, 2, 4, and 7.
LCM of 3, 2, 4, 7 = 84
Convert each fraction to have denominator 84:
Therefore, the value of is .
