Math Problem Statement
Consider the following data:
x 1 2 3 4 5 P(X=x) 0.3 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.3
Step 4 of 5: Find the value of P(X≤2) . Round your answer to one decimal place.
Solution
To find , we need to add the probabilities of and , since represents the probability of being less than or equal to 2.
From the data:
So,
Thus, the value of is 0.4.
