Given the following probability distribution: x P(x) 1 0.17 2 0.38 3 0.22 4 0.05 5 0.18 What is the probability that x is larger than 3? What is the expected value of this distribution?
Added by Jose Ramon Q.
Step 1
We can do this by adding the probabilities of x = 4 and x = 5. P(x > 3) = P(x = 4) + P(x = 5) = 0.05 + 0.18 = 0.23 Show more…
