Problem: The pdf function

Problem

X is a discrete random variable with range x1=1,x2=1,x3=4 . Also, P(X=1)=1/4 , P(X=1)=1/2 and P(X=4)=1/4 . f is the probability mass function and F is the cumulative distribution function for X .

  1. Find f(1)
  2. Find f(2)
  3. Find P(X2)
  4. Find P(1<X4)
  5. Show that f(1)+f(1)+f(4)=1 . Explain why this must be the case?
  6. Find F(1)
  7. Find F(1)
  8. Find F(0.999)
