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 .
- Find f(1)
- Find f(2)
- Find P(X≤2)
- Find P(−1<X≤4)
- Show that f(−1)+f(1)+f(4)=1 . Explain why this must be the case?
- Find F(−1)
- Find F(1)
- Find F(0.999)
