Chapter 5: Q.5.6 (page 346)

For a continuous probability distribution, 0鈮�x鈮�15. What is P(x>15)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability will beP(x>15)=0.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that a continuous probability distribution0鈮�x鈮�15

02

Solution

Here in the question we are asked to find P(x>15)

So,

P(x>15)=1鈭�P(x鈮�15)

Since, 0鈮�x鈮�15,P(0鈮�x鈮�15)=1. Thus,

P(x>15)=1鈭�[P(x<0)+P(0鈮�x鈮�15)]

=1鈭�[0+1]

=0

What is the probability that a pair of running shoes last more than 15 months? On average, how long would six pairs of running shoes last if they are used one after the other? Eighty percent of running shoes last at most how long if used every day?
