Answer #1

Question 1a)

Suppose, a discrete random variable takes values

with corresponding probabilities

Then the expected value of the random variable is found by the formula

Let, X is a random variable taking values 1,2, and 4, with chances 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4 respectively.

Then the expected value of X is

Question 1b)

A probability density function measures the probability that a certain continuous random variable lies within a given range.

Example Question with answer, My problem is at the bottom. Fill in the P(X = x) values in the table below to give a legitimate probability distribution for the discrete random variable X, whose possible values are −6, 2, 3, 5, and 6. Value x of X: -6, 2, 3, 5, 6 P(X=x): 0.25, 0.21, 0.13, __, __ EXPLANATION The values that the discrete random variable X may take are −6, 2, 3, 5, and 6. Thus, it must be...
