Let X be the random variable where PrX x 16 x 1 2 6 Deter
Let X be the random variable where Pr(X = x) =1/6; x = 1; 2; ; 6. Determine
(A) Pr(X>= 3)
(B) Pr(2 <= X<= 5)
Solution
Pr(X = x) = 1/6
A)
 Pr(X>=3)
 = Pr(X=3) + Pr(X=4) + Pr(X=5) + Pr(X=6)
 = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6
 = 2/3
B)
 Pr(2 <= X<= 5)
 = Pr(X=2) + Pr(X=3) + Pr(X=4) + Pr(X=5)
 = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6
 = 2/3
