A random variable X has the following probability distribution
| X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P(X) | a | 3a | 5a | 7a | 9a | 11a | 13a | 15a | 17a |
Then the values of 'a' and P(0 < X < 5) respectively are
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
In any probability distribution, the sum of all probabilities must equal 1.
Substituting the values from the table:
The notation means is greater than 0 and less than 5.
can take values:
Substituting :
