Let $c > 0$ and $0 \leq \alpha \leq 1 .$ Also let $X, Y,$ and $T$ be random variables. a. If $P(X > c)=\alpha,$ determine $P(X \leq c)$ in terms of $\alpha.$ b. If $P(Y > c)=\alpha / 2$ and $P(Y < -c)=P(Y > c),$ obtain $P(-c \leq Y \leq c)$ in terms of $\alpha.$ c. Suppose that $P(-c \leq T \leq c)=1-\alpha$ and, moreover, that $P(T < -c)=P(T > c) .$ Find $P(T > c)$ in terms of $\alpha.$

Key Concepts

Complementary Probability

This concept involves the principle that the probability of an event and the probability of its complement add up to one. If you know the probability of an event occurring, you can directly compute the probability that it does not occur by subtracting from one. This fundamental idea is useful for solving problems where only one side of a probability inequality is given.

Symmetry in Distributions

Symmetry in probability distributions refers to the property where probabilities are balanced around a central point, meaning that probabilities of equally distanced events from the center are equal. This concept is particularly crucial when dealing with problems that involve events defined symmetrically (such as exceeding or being less than a certain threshold) as it simplifies the calculation of probabilities related to mirrored outcomes.

Probability Inequality Manipulation

This involves the algebraic handling of inequalities tied to random variables to derive relationships between different probability events. By converting between expressions like P(X > c) and P(X <= c), or assembling probabilities for events outlined by different inequality bounds, one can solve for unknown probabilities within the problem's constraints.
