- The conditional probability of E given that F occur is P(EF)= _____________. So in rolling a die the conditional probability of the event E. “getting a six,” given that the event F, “getting an even number.” has occurred is P(EF)= ____________.arrow_forwardThe conditional probability of E given that F occurs is P(EF)=___________. So in rolling a die the conditional probability of the event E, getting a six, given that the event F, getting an even number, has occurred is P(EF)=___________.arrow_forwardGiven that the discrete random variable X has probability mass function, Pr (X = x) = x/6 where x = 1, 2, 3 0 elsewhere, Describe and graph its cumulative distribution function, F(x).arrow_forward
- Let X be a discrete random variable with P(X = -2) = .1, P(X = 1) = .15, P(X = 2) = .4, P(X = 4) = .2, and P(X = 5) = .15. Find the cumulative distribution function of X, F(x).arrow_forwardLet X be a Poisson random variable with E(X) = 3. Find P(2 < x < 4).arrow_forward(a) Let F denote the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of a uniformly distributed random variable X. If F(2) = 0.3, what is the probability that X is greater than 2 ? (b) Let F denote the cdf of a uniformly distributed random variable X. If F(2) = 0.3, and F(3) = 0.6, what is F(6) ?
