d) 

 

X=x -3 -1 1 4 8
P(X=x) 0.4 -0.1 0.25 0.3 0.35

 

 

onsider the random variable X with probability distribution given in the table below

 

X= x -1 1 2 3 5 6
P(X = x) 0.2 p(1) p(2) p(3) 0.2 p(6)

 

Find the values for the missing probabilities for the outcomes X = 1, 2, 3, and 6

 

You are given the following relations between the unknown probabilities.

 

The two least likely outcomes are X=1 and X=6, and these have the same probability.

(      p(1) = p(6)     )

 

The outcome X=3 is four times as likely as X=1

(      p(3) = 4* p(1)      )

 

The outcome X=2 is six times as likely as X=1

(      p(2) = 6* p(1)      )

 

 

Find the probability distribution for the random variable

 

There is a package containing 16 resistors, of which 12 ard good and 4 are defective.

We select a group of 3 of the resistors at random.

 

The random variable X represents the number of defective resistors selected.

 

Find the probability distribution for X.  Also sketch a graph of the histogram representing this probability distribution.
