If the probability density function (p.d.f.) of a continuous random variable $X$ is given by $f(x) = \begin{cases} k(9 + 8x - x^2), & \text{for } -1 \leq x \leq 4 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$, then the value of $k$ is:

  • A
    $1/125$
  • B
    $3/250$
  • C
    $3/125$
  • D
    $1/250$

India plays two matches each with West Indies and Australia. In any match,the probabilities of India getting $0, 1,$ and $2$ points are $0.45, 0.05,$ and $0.50$ respectively. Assuming that the outcomes are independent,the probability of India getting at least $7$ points is:

If a drunkard person tries to take a step,then it will be a forward or backward step with probabilities $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ respectively,or he will remain in his 'as it is' position. If he tries to take a step $5$ times,then find the probability that he will be one step away from the initial position.
