'Q4: Let X be a discrete random variable with range Rx = {1,2,3,-} Suppose the PMF of X is given by 1 Px (k) = for k = 1,2,3, 2k a) Find and plot the CDF of X, Fx(c) b) Find P(1 < X < 3).'

Step 1
For a discrete random variable, this is the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes less than or equal to c. Given the PMF, we can calculate the CDF as follows: For c < 1, Fx(c) = 0 (since there are no values in the range less than 1) For 1 ≤ c < 2, Fx(c) = Show more…

Let $p_{X}(x)$ be the pmf of a random variable $X .$ Find the cdf $F(x)$ of $X$ and sketch its graph along with that of $p_{X}(x)$ if: (a) $p_{X}(x)=1, x=0$, zero elsewhere. (b) $p_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{3}, x=-1,0,1$, zero elsewhere. (c) $p_{X}(x)=x / 15, x=1,2,3,4,5$, zero elsewhere.

The random variable X has pmf p(k) = ck, k = 1, 2, 3. Find (a) the constant c, (b) the cdf F, (c) P(X <= 2), and (d) P(X > 1).

1.5.4. Let pX(x) be the pmf of a random variable X. Find the cdf F(x) of X and sketch its graph along with that of pX(x) if: (a) pX(x) = 1, x = 0, zero elsewhere. (b) pX(x) = 1/3, x = -1, 0, 1, zero elsewhere. (c) pX(x) = x/15, x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, zero elsewhere.
