8x^2 - 16x - 15 = 0
x = [ -(-16) +/- sqrt((-16)^2 - 4*8*-15) / ] 2*8
= 2.696, -0.696
All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.
That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If

is the component for state

, then you have

which means

. So the state vector is

.
