Help ?? Medal and fan!! The graph shows a probability distribution P(X) for a discrete random variable X. Enter the probabilities. P(20≤X<40)= P(X<10)=

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what is the value of the vertical (probability function) axis for the value of x from 0 to 10 ?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

read it off the graph.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

|dw:1474296145854:dw|

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

isn't it 0.1?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes thats the answer to the second part

OpenStudy (welshfella):

P(X<10) = 0.1

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

ahhh okay !

OpenStudy (welshfella):

For the first part just add the 2 values for 20 and 40

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

so then for the first one 20 is 0.4 and 40 is 0.2

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No its >= 20 so its 0.30 + 0.2

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

adding those together it would be 0.5 ?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I mislead you there the first part is the rectangle 20-30 which gives P( 20 =< X < 30)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yea 0.5

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

ohh so would that be my final answer or..?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes P(20 =<X < 40) = 0.5

OpenStudy (dopeeaf):

okay, thank you so much for your help!!
