X \(\alpha\) 1 0 -3
P(X) \(\frac 13\) K \(\frac 16\) \(\frac 14\)

be \(\mu\) and \(\sigma\), respectively. If \(\sigma-\mu=2\), then \(\sigma+\mu\) is equal to ______.

Correct answer: 5

\(\frac{1}{3}+k+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{4}=1 \)

\( \Rightarrow k=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\mu=\frac{\alpha}{3}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\mu=\frac{\alpha}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\sigma=\sqrt{\left(\alpha^{2} \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+9 \frac{1}{4}\right)-\left(\frac{\alpha}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}}\)

\(\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{2 \alpha^{2}}{9}+\frac{\alpha}{3}+\frac{9}{4}}\)

\(\sigma=\mu+2\)

\(\sigma^{2}=(\mu+2)^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2 \alpha^{2}}{9}+\frac{\alpha}{3}+\frac{9}{4}=\frac{\alpha^{2}}{9}+\frac{9}{4}+\alpha\)

\(\frac{\alpha^{2}}{9}-\frac{2 \alpha}{3}=0\)

\(\alpha=0\), (reject) or \(\alpha=6\)

(\(\because \mathrm{x}=0\) is already given)

\(\Rightarrow \sigma+\mu=2 \mu+2\)

\(=5\)
