A discrete random variable X has the following probability distribution.
X | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
P(X) | K | 2K | 2K | 3K | K² | 2K² | 7K² + K
What is the value of K?
A1/30
B1/40
C1/10
D1/20
Show answerHide answer

What is the value of f(5) by Newton's backward difference form of interpolating polynomial for the data?
x | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8
f(x) | 5 | 8 | 12 | 16
A13.125
B8.0625
C10.0625
D11.125
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) 10.0625
Explanation
Note: the answer key gives (C), but the cubic through these points gives f(5) = 16 + (−1.5)(4) + 0 − 0.0625 = 9.9375, which is not among the options. 10.0625 comes from taking the third-difference term with the wrong sign.
