How do you do this on a calculator?
Let X be a discrete random variable taking integer values 1, 2, …, 10.
It is also known that: P(X 4) = 0.69, P(X 4) = 0.66.
Then P(X = 4) = 0.35
| A: 0.03 | B: 0.29 | C: 0.35 | D: 0.68 | E: 0.85 | F: 0.87 |
Solution
Note that a probability distirbution must have all probabilities add up to 1.
hence,
P(x<=4) + P(x>=4) - P(x = 4) = 1
(we subtract P(x=4) as it was double counted when we added the first two terms.)
Hence,
0.69 + 0.66 - P(x = 4) = 1
1.35 - P(x = 4) = 1
P(x = 4) = 0.35 [ANSWER, C]
