Answer:

Option C, 0.15

Explanation:

From the given table probability for x = 1


p_((1)) = 0.30

for x = 2


p_((2)) = 0.40

for x = 3


p_((3)) = 0.15

and for x = 4


p_((4)) = x

As we know that the sum of probabilities of alll events will be 1.

so
p_((1)) +
p_((2)) +
p_((3)) +
p_((4)) = 1

0.30 + 0.40 + 0.15 + x = 1 ⇒ 0.85 + x = 1

x = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

Option C, 0.15 is the answer.
