The following diagram shows a board which is divided into three regions \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\).
A game consists of a contestant throwing one dart at the board. The probability of hitting each region is given in the following table.
| Region | \(A\) | \(B\) | \(C\) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | \(\frac{1}{4}\) | \(\frac{1}{5}\) | \(\frac{1}{20}\) |
The contestant obtains points as shown in the following table
| Region | \(A\) | \(B\) | \(C\) | Does not hit the board |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | \(0\) | \(p\) | \(10\) | \(-3\) |
Let \(X\) be the number of points scored by Alan in a game.
