Question:

The probability distribution for the number of students being absent in a class on a Saturday is as follows: \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \mathbf{X} & 0 & 2 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline \mathbf{P(X)} & p & 2p & 3p & p \\ \hline \end{array} Where \(X\) is the number of students absent. \begin{array}{l} \text{(i) Calculate } p. \\ \text{(ii) Calculate the mean of the number of absent students on Saturday.} \end{array}
