0.16 | 0.26 | 0.35 | 0.10 | 0.08 | 0.05 |
Add all the probability values from left to the right until you end up getting probability greater than or equal to 0.5. (i.e. 0.16+0.26+0.35= 0.77).
Similarly, Add all the probability values from right to the left until you end up getting probability greater than or equal to 0.5. (0.05+0.08+0.10+0.35=0.58).
