Question
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
The probability distribution of a discrete random variable X is given below:
$\text{X}$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $5$
$\text{P}(\text{X})$ $\frac{5}{\text{k}}$ $\frac{7}{\text{k}}$ $\frac{9}{\text{k}}$ $\frac{11}{\text{k}}$
The value of k is:
  1. 8.
  2. 16.
  3. 32.
  4. 48.

Answer

  1. 32.
Solution:
We know that, $\sum\text{P}\text{X}=1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{\text{k}}+\frac{7}{\text{k}}+\frac{9}{\text{k}}+\frac{11}{\text{k}}=1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{32}{\text{k}}=1$
$\therefore\text{k}=32$
