A random variable \(X\) has the probability distribution given in the following table:

\(x\)\(2\)\(3\)\(4\)\(5\)
\({\mathbb{P}(X = x)}\)\(p\)\({\frac{2}{10}}\)\({\frac{3}{10}}\)\(q\)
  1. Given that \(\mathrm{E}\left( X \right)=4\), find \(p\) and \(q\).
  2. Show that \(\mathrm{Var}\left( X \right)=1\).
  3. Find \(\mathrm{E}\left( \left| X-4 \right| \right)\).
  4. Ten independent observations of \(X\) are taken. Find the probability that the value of \(3\) is obtained at most \(3\) times.
