Detailed Solution

Given that 

Given P(X=0)=3C3, P(X=2)=5C-10C2, P(X=4)=4C-1

Since   P(X=x)=1

 3C3+5C-10C2+4C-1=1  3C3-10C2+9C-2=0  (C-1) (3C2-7C+2)=0  (C-1) (3C-1) (C-2)=0  C=1, 13, 2  C=13   0P1

X=x024
P(X=x)195913

Mean (x)=xi P(X= xi) 

                =0+109+43=229

Now Variance (a2)= (xi-x)2.P(X=xi)

                                 =0-2292 19+2-2292 59+4-2292 13 =1152729=12881
