The image shows a problem involving a discrete random variable with given probabilities. Here's the step-by-step solution to the questions presented:
Given Data:
The table presents the values of and their corresponding probabilities :
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.1 | 0.15 | 0.25 | 0.2 | 0.15 | 0.1 | 0.05 |
(a) Probability that is at most 3.
This means finding :
(b) Probability that is greater than 3.
This means finding :

Formulas
P(X <= 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
P(X > 3) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)
P(X is even) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 6)
E(X) = Σ (X * P(X))
Var(X) = E(X^2) - (E(X))^2
E(X^2) = Σ (X^2 * P(X))
