:( confused... Find the missing probability in the table below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 0.15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.o///

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 0.30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I see...... we need to find P(X>2) so it is 0.15 + 0.15 = 0.30

:I no worries. could you check this one for me?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

All probabilities in a probability distribution must add to 1 So let x = missing probability This then means that 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.15 + x = 1 0.85 + x = 1 x = 1 - 0.85 x = 0.15 So the missing probability is 0.15 Now we're tasked to find P(X > 2) P(X > 2) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) P(X > 2) = 0.15 + 0.15 P(X > 2) = 0.3

i think it is 0.35?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

P(Orange) + P(Yellow) + P(Brown) = 1 P(Orange) + 0.30 + 0.40 = 1 P(Orange) + 0.70 = 1 P(Orange) = 1-0.70 P(Orange) = 0.30

oh :O gotcha thank you!!!!!

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more just to make sure it is kinda of important ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure go ahead

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

P(Not a 2) + P(selected a 2) = 1 P(Not a 2) + 0.4 = 1 P(Not a 2) = 1-0.4 P(Not a 2) = 0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your a life saver :) thanks again!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure thing
