Question
The random variable $X$ can take only the values $0, 1, 2, 3.$ Given that $P(2) = P(3) = p$ and $P(0) = 2P(1).$ If $\Sigma p_ix_i{}^2 = 2 \Sigma p_ix_i,$ find the value of $p.$

Answer

$\text{x}_{\text{i}}$ $\text{p}_{\text{i}}$ $\text{p}_{\text{i}}\text{x}_{\text{i}}$ $\Sigma p_ix_i{}^2$
$0$
$1$
$2$
$3$
$\text{2q}$
$\text{q}$
$\text{p}$
$ \text{p}$
$0$
$\text{q}$
$\text{2p}$
$\text{3p}$
$0$
$\text{q}$
$\text{4p}$
$\text{9p}$
$\Sigma pi = 1 \Rightarrow 3q + 2p= 1..(1)$
from $(1)$ and $(2), p = \frac{1}{11}$

A small firm manufactures gold rings and chains. The total number of rings and chains manufactured per day is atmost $24.$ It takes $1$ hour to make a ring and $30$ minutes to make a chain. The maximum number of hours available per day is $16.$ If the profit on a ring is $Rs. 300$ and that on a chain is $Rs. 190,$ find the number of rings and chains that should be manufactured per day, so as to earn the maximum profit. Make it as an $L.P.P.$ and solve it graphically.
