Please solve quickly. The sample space of a random experiment is a, b, c, d, e. Each outcome is equally likely. A random variable is defined as the outcome. Determine the probability mass function of X. Use the probabilities below: a) P(X = 6.4) = b) P(4.5 < X < 10.9) = c) P(X > 16) = d) P(0 < X < 8) = e) P(X = 0 or X = 8) =

00:01 In this question we are given that the sample space consists of a, b, c, d, e and f.
00:11 Now it is told each outcome is equally likely and we can see there are six outcomes.
00:22 So the probability of each outcome should be.
00:32 One sixth okay now we will find probabilities of the values of x we can see x is zero in the case of a and b so a plus b means one by six plus one by six that is one by three okay then probability of x to be 1 .5 x is 1 .5 for c and d outcomes so c plus t means 1 by 6 plus 1 by 6 again 1 by 3 and probability of x is equal to 2 is e that is 1 by 6 and probability of x is equal to f sorry x is equal to 3 is equal to f and f is 1 by 6 okay now we can construct the table okay we had calculated the value of x and the probabilities okay so x values are 0 1 .5 2 and 3 probability of 0 is 1 by 3 of 1 .5 is 1 by 3 and the rest of the probabilities are 1 by 6 okay this is the probability distribution that we had made now the first question is probability of x is required to 1 .5 that is observed in the table 1 by 3 okay then the second question is probability x is greater than 0 .5 and less than 2 .7 means we can see x should be 1 .5 and x is equals to 2 we have to add...
