Detailed Solution

Given Probability distribution of X is

          X                   0                            2                                   4
     P(X=x)                 3c3                 5c-10c2                 4c-1

Since  P(X=x)=1 then

                  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, (or) 13 (or) 2  c=13   0P(x)1

Then Probability distribution is 

         X                   0                               2                             4
     P(X=x)                  19                            59                          13

Mean  (μ)=x P(X)

                 =0+109+43=10+129=229

Variance =x2 P(X=x)-μ2

                 =0+459+1613-2292 =689-48481 =612-48481 =12881
