The random variable $X$ has a probability distribution $P(X)$ of the following form,where $k$ is some number:
$P(X) = \begin{cases} k, & \text{if } x=0 \\ 2k, & \text{if } x=1 \\ 3k, & \text{if } x=2 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$
Determine the value of $k$.

In a meeting,$70 \%$ of the members favour and $30 \%$ oppose a certain proposal. $A$ member is selected at random and we take $X=0$ if he opposed,and $X=1$ if he is in favour. Find $E(X)$ and $\text{Var}(X)$.
