If a continuous random variable $X$ has probability density function $f(x)$ given by $f(x) = \begin{cases} ax, & 0 \le x < 1 \\ a, & 1 \le x < 2 \\ 3a - ax, & 2 \le x \le 3 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$,then $a$ has the value:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $1$

The p.d.f. of a continuous random variable $X$ is given by $f(x) = \frac{1}{2}$ if $0 < x < 2$ and $f(x) = 0$ otherwise. If $a = P(X < \frac{1}{2})$ and $b = P(X > \frac{3}{2})$,then the relation between $a$ and $b$ is:

Let $X$ denote the number of hours you study on a Sunday. It is known that $P(X=x) = \begin{cases} 0.1 & \text{if } x=0 \\ kx & \text{if } x=1, 2 \\ k(5-x) & \text{if } x=3, 4 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$ where $k$ is a constant. Then the probability that you study at least two hours on a Sunday is

From a lot of $12$ items containing $3$ defectives,a sample of $5$ items is drawn at random. Let the random variable $X$ denote the number of defective items in the sample. Let items in the sample be drawn one by one without replacement. If variance of $X$ is $\frac{m}{n}$,where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1$,then $n-m$ is equal to..........
