Stat Q3 WK2 Las1

1. The document provides examples of computing probabilities for discrete random variables. 2. It gives the probability distribution of a random variable x and calculates various probabilities like P(3), P(3)+P(4), and P(2<x<4). 3. It then asks the reader to calculate similar probabilities for other random variables y and z based on their given probability distributions.

COMPUTING PROBABILITIES IN A RANDOM VARIABLE


Consider:
x 1 2 3 4
P(x) 1/7 3/7 1/7 2/7

Find:
1. P(3)
2. P(3) + P(4)
3. P(2) P(3)
4. The probability that x assumes a value greater than 1, P(x ˃ 1).
5. The probability that x assumes a value between 2 and 4, P(2 ˂ x ˂ 4).
Answers:
1. P(3) = 1/7
2. P(3) + P(4) = 1/7 + 2/7 = 3/7
3. P(2) P(3) = (3/7) (1/7) = 3/49
4. P(x ˃ 1) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) = 3/7 + 1/7 + 2/7 = 6/7
5. P(2 ˂ x ˂ 4) = P(3) = 1/7

ACTIVITY
1. Answer the following using the given discrete probability distribution.
y 1 2 3 4 5 6
P(y) 1/7 1/7 1/7 2/7 1/7 1/7

Find:
1. P(even)
2. P(odd)
3. P(greater than 2)
4. P(less than 4)
5. P(between 2 and 6)

2. Answer the following using the given discrete probability distribution.


z 1 2 3 4 5
P(z) 1/9 2/9 1/3 2/9 1/9

Find:
1. P(z ≥ 3)
2. P(z < 5)
3. P(odd)
4. P(2) + P(odd)
5. P(z < 1)
