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 5 of 5: Find the value of P(X>2) . Round your answer to one decimal place.
Solution
To find , we need to sum the probabilities for all values of greater than 2. From the given data:
So,
Therefore, the value of is 0.6.
