Question
The probability distribution of random variable X is given below:
$\text{X}$
$0$
$1$
$2$
$3$
$\text{P}(\text{X})$
$\text{k}$
$\frac{\text{k}}{2}$
$\frac{\text{k}}{4}$
$\frac{\text{k}}{8}$
 Determine the value of k.

Answer

We know that,
$\text{P}(0)+\text{P}(1)+\text{P}(2)+\text{P}(3)=1$
$\text{k}+\frac{\text{k}}{2}+\frac{\text{k}}{4}+\frac{\text{k}}{8}=1$
$15\text{k}=8$
$\text{k}=\frac{8}{15}$
