Math Problem Statement
Consider the following data:
x −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 P(X=x) 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.2
Step 5 of 5 : Find the value of P(X>−4) . Round your answer to one decimal place.
Solution
To find , we need to calculate the probability that takes a value greater than .
Given the values of and the corresponding probabilities :
For , this means can be . So, we need to sum the probabilities for :
Substitute the given values:
So, the value of is .
