24. A random variable X has its range{0,1,2} and the probabilities are
P(X=0)=3c3, P(X=1)=4c-10c2, P(X=2)=5c–1 where 'c' is a constant, find
(i) c (ii) P(0<X<3) (iii) P(1<X£2) (iv) P(X<1)

Sol: (i) We know ΣP(X=xi)=1

⇒ 3c3 + 4c − 10c 2 + 5c − 1 = 1 ⇒ 3c3 − 10c 2 + 9c − 1 = 1 ⇒ 3c3 − 10c 2 + 9c − 2 = 0

Here, the sum of the coefficients is 3–10+9–2=0. Hence 1 is a root of the above equation.

∴ By synthetic division, we have

1 3 –10 9 –2

Q
0 3 –7 2
3 –7 2 0

T-
∴ 3c3 − 10c 2 + 9c − 2 = (c − 1)(3c 2 − 7c + 2) = (c − 1)(c − 2)(3c − 1)
