    This document discusses probability distributions and calculating probabilities for discrete random variables. It provides examples of calculating the probability of a random variable being greater than a value, between two values, and greater than a value using the probabilities for different outcomes provided in a probability distribution for a discrete random variable representing the number of times a machine needs to be checked.

    Random Variables and Probability Distributions Activity 2 Solution


    a) i) P(X > 2)

    P (X > 2) = P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)
    = 0.03 + 0.01
    = 0.04

    a) ii) P (1 X < 3)
    P (1 X < 3) = P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)
    = 0.08 + 0.06
    = 0.14

    b) What is the probability that the machine needs to be checked?

    P (X > 1) = P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)
    = 0.06 + 0.03 + 0.01
    = 0.9
