E(X)=∑XiP(Xi)=15×7526k=15263
⇒k=27
Substituting k=27, the values of X become:
X: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21
P(X): 152, 151, 152, 51, 151, 152, 51, 151
P(X<20)=X=14∑19P(X)
=152+151+152+51+151+152=1511

If the mean and the variance of the data \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Class} & 4\text{-}8 & 8\text{-}12 & 12\text{-}16 & 16\text{-}20 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & 3 & \lambda & 4 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array}\) are $\mu$ and 19 respectively, then the value of $\lambda+\mu$ is
A bag contains 6 blue and 6 green balls. Pairs of balls are drawn without replacement until the bag is empty. The probability that each drawn pair consists of one blue and one green ball is :
If the mean of the data <table class="pyq-table"><tbody><tr><th>Class</th><th>$5-10$</th><th>$10-15$</th><th>$15-20$</th><th>$20-25$</th><th>$25-30$</th><th>$30-35$</th></tr><tr><td>Frequency</td><td>$2$</td><td>$k$</td><td>$28$</td><td>$54$</td><td>$k+1$</td><td>$5$</td></tr></tbody></table> is $21$, then $k$ is one of the roots of the equation :
A candidate has to go to the examination centre to appear in an examination. The candidate uses only one means of transportation for the entire distance out of bus, scooter and car. The probabilities of the candidate going by bus, scooter and car, respectively, are $\dfrac{2}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{5}$ and $\dfrac{2}{5}$. The probabilities that the candidate reaches late at the examination centre are $\dfrac{1}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{3}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ if the candidate uses bus, scooter and car, respectively. Given that the candidate reached late at the examination centre, the probability that the candidate travelled by bus is:
Let the mean and variance of 8 numbers $-10,-7,-1, x, y, 9,2,16$ be $\frac{7}{2}$ and $\frac{293}{4}$, respectively. Then the mean of 4 numbers $x, y, x+y+1,|x-y|$ is :
