Answer:

(i) It is known that the sum of probabilities of a probability distribution of random variables is one.

∴0+k+2k+3k+k

+(7k

+k)=1

⇒10k

2

+9k−1=0

⇒(10k−1)(k+1)=0

⇒k=−1,

k=−1 is not possible as the probability of an event is never negative.

∴k=

1

(ii) P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)

=0+k+2k

=3k
