The probability distribution of a random variable X is given as
X | -5 | -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
P(X) | p | 2 p | 3 p | 4 p | 5 p | 7 p | 8 p | 9 p | 10 p | 11 p | 12 p |
Then, the value of p is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Sum of Probabilities = 1
p + 2p + 3p + 4p + 5p + 7p + 8p + 9p + 10p + 11p + 12p = 1
