ScanSolve AI Answer
Step-by-step solution
4 stepsUnderstand the given condition.
The statement means that the random variable can only take on the values 0 or 1. The probability of taking any other value is 0.
Evaluate option A.
Let . Since can only take values 0 or 1, it must be that .
The expected value of is .
Since is a probability, .
If , then . If , then .
The interval excludes 0 and 1. Therefore, is not necessarily in because it could be 0 or 1.
So, statement A is not necessarily true.Evaluate option B.
A random variable is defined as a Bernoulli random variable if it takes exactly two values, typically 0 and 1, with probabilities and for some .
The given condition means that can only take values 0 or 1. This is precisely the definition of a Bernoulli random variable.
So, statement B is necessarily true.Evaluate option D.
For a Bernoulli random variable, the variance is given by .
To find the maximum value of for , we can consider the function $f
