So this question we've got a probability distribution x can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, with probabilities 0 .025, 0 .005, 0 .340, 0 .310, 0 .220, 0 .080, 0 .019, and 0 .001.
00:32
And we want to calculate some probabilities.
00:35
Well, the probability that x is greater than or equal to 1 is 1 minus the probability x is less than 1 by normalization.
00:42
But the only value that x can take less than 1 is 0.
00:47
So this is 1 minus 0 .025, which is 0 .975.
00:52
The probability that x is less than 5 is 1 minus the probability that x is greater than or equal to 5.
01:01
So it's 1 minus the probability x equals 5 plus the probability, sorry, minus the probability x equals 6 minus the probability x equals 7.
01:15
So that's 1 minus 0 .08 minus 0 .019 minus 0 .001, which is 0 .9.
01:29
For part c, we want the probability that x is between 1 and 7, not inclusive...
