population is involved in a certain type of accident each year. If its
10,000 policy holders were randomly selected from the population, K3 CO1 2.1.3

in a such an accident next year?
2 If the random variable X takes the values 1, 2 , 3 and 4 such
that 2𝑃(𝑋 = 1) = 3𝑃(𝑋 = 2) = 𝑃(𝑋 = 3) = 5𝑃(𝑋 = 4), find the
