Math Problem Statement
Consider the following data:
x
−4−4
−3−3
−2−2
−1−1
00
P(X=x)�(�=�)
0.30.3
0.10.1
0.10.1
0.30.3
0.20.2
Copy Data
Step 5 of 5 :
Find the value of P(X<−2)�(�<−2). Round your answer to one decimal place.
Solution
To find , we sum the probabilities associated with the values of that are less than .
From the given dataTo find , we sum the probabilities associated with the values of that are less than .
From the given
We are interested in , which means:
So:
Thus:
Since the question asks for the answer rounded to one decimal place, the final answer is:
Do you have any further questions?
Here are five related questions you might find interesting:
- How would the answer change if the probability of was 0.2?
- What is ?
- How do we compute ?
- What is the expected value of given the probabilities?
- How does a cumulative distribution function (CDF) relate to questions like ?
Tip: Always double-check that the probabilities sum to 1 to ensure the distribution is valid.
