Answer:

X        1       2       3         4          5          6

P(X) 0.115   a     0.422   0.312   0.034   0.015

If we want a probability distribution we need to satisfy two important conditions:

1) P(X_i) \geq 0, \forall i=1,2,3,4,5,6

2) \sum_{i=1}^n P(X_i) =1

And using the second condition we have this:

0.115+a+0.422+0.312 +0.034 +0.015=1

With a the probability associated with the value of X=2 and solving for a we got:

a = 1-0.115-0.422-0.312-0.034-0.015= 0.102

So then for this case P(X=2) = 0.102

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the number of classes that a student takes

For this case we have the following probability distribution given:

X        1       2       3         4          5          6

P(X) 0.115   a     0.422   0.312   0.034   0.015

If we want a probability distribution we need to satisfy two important conditions:

1) P(X_i) \geq 0, \forall i=1,2,3,4,5,6

2) \sum_{i=1}^n P(X_i) =1

And using the second condition we have this:

0.115+a+0.422+0.312 +0.034 +0.015=1

With a the probability associated with the value of X=2 and solving for a we got:

a = 1-0.115-0.422-0.312-0.034-0.015= 0.102

So then for this case P(X=2) = 0.102

What is the answer to K/2+1-1k=-2k
Mazyrski [523]

\dfrac{k}{2}+1-1k=-2k\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}k+1-k=-2k\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{2}k-k\right)+1=-2k\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}k+1=-2k\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}k=-2k-1\qquad\text{add 2k to both sides}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}k=-1\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to improper fraction}\\\\\dfrac{1\cdot2+1}{2}k=-1\\\\\dfrac{3}{2}k=-1\qqua\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\boxed{k=-\dfrac{2}{3}}
