A hint to get started

Use the absolute deviation and avoid double-counting the double-two case

X has the following distribution.

xP(X=x)P(X=x)
20.2
3a
4b
50.45

Given E(∣X−4∣)=11/10E(|X-4|)=11/10, find a and b. marks

Two independent observations of X are taken. Find the probability that one is 2 and the other is at most 4. marks
