Bag I contains 3 black and 2 white balls. Bag II contains 2 black and 4 white balls. A bag is selected at random and then a ball is drawn from it. The probability that the ball drawn is black is:

Which of the following statements are correct?

(A) The mean and variance of the Poisson distribution are equal.

(B) The mean and variance of a Binomial distribution are equal.

(C) An unbiased die is thrown again and again until two sixes are obtained, then the probability of obtaining the second six in the 3rd throw is $\frac{5}{108}$.

(D) If the variance of a Poisson distribution is 2, then P(X = 2) = $2e^{-2}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Let X denote the number of hours a student studies on a selected day. The probability distribution of X is given by (where k is some unknown constant)

$P(X = x_i) = \begin{cases} 0.5, & \text{if } x_i = 0, \\ kx_i, & \text{if } x_i = 1, \\ k(4 - x_i), & \text{if } x_i = 2 \text{ or } 3, \\ 0, & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}$

Then the value of k is
