Find k ,such that the function `P(x)={{:(k({:(4),(x):}),,x=0","1","2","3","4,kgt0),(0,"otherwise."):}` is a probability mass function (p.m.f.) |

Answer» Given , `P(x){{:(K((4)/(x))","x=0","1","2","3","4,kgt0,),(0" "", " "otherwise",):}` `thereforeP[X=0]=K({:(4),(0):})=Kxx.^(4)C_(0)=K(1)=K` `P[X=1]=K({:(4),(1):})=Kxx.^(4)C_(1)=K(4)=4K` `P[X=2]=K({:(4),(2):})=Kxx.^(4)C_(2)` `=K((4xx3)/(1xx2))=6K` `P[X=3]=K({:(4),(3):})=Kxx.^(4)C_(3)=K(4)=4K` `P[X=4]=K({:(4),(4):})=Kxx.^(4)C_(4)=K(1)=K` Since `P[X=x]` is p . m .f., `sum_(x=0)^(4)P[X=x]=1` `thereforeP[X=0]+P[X=1]+P[X=2]+P[X=3]+P[X=4]=1` `thereforeK+4K+6K+4K+K=1` `therefore16K=1` `thereforeK=(1)/(16)` |
