Did you like this answer?
Absolutely, let's go through each part step by step.
**Given:**
\( X \) is a uniform random variable taking integer values \( 1, 2, \ldots, 13 \).
This means each value from 1 to 13 is equally likely.
There are **13** possible values.
The probability for each value:
\[ P(X = x) = \frac{1}{13} \]
for \( x = 1, 2, \ldots, 13 \).
---
#### a. \( P(X = 5) \)
Since each value is equally likely:
\[
P(X = 5) = \frac{1}{13}
\]
---
#### b. \( P(X5) \)
It looks like you might have a typo here. Did you mean \( P(X < 5) \) or \( P(X \leq 5) \)?
- If you meant \( P(X < 5) \), that's the probability that \( X \) is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
- If you meant \( P(X \leq 5) \), that's the probability that \( X \) is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
I'll do both for you:
- \( P(X < 5) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 4 \times \frac{1}{13} = \frac{4}{13} \)
- \( P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 1) + ... + P(X = 5) = 5 \times \frac{1}{13} = \frac{5}{13} \)
---
#### c. \( P(X > 3) \)
This is the probability that \( X \) is 4, 5, ..., 13.
How many values is that?
From 4 to 13 (inclusive): \( 13 - 3 = 10 \) values.
So,
\[
P(X > 3) = \frac{10}{13}
\]
---
#### d. \( P(3X11) \)
This notation is a bit unclear, but in probability, \( P(3 < X < 11) \) usually means the probability that \( X \) is strictly between 3 and 11, i.e., \( X = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 \).
How many values is that?
From 4 to 10 inclusive: \( 10 - 4 + 1 = 7 \) values.
So,
\[
P(3 < X < 11) = \frac{7}{13}
\]
If you meant inclusive endpoints, i.e., \( P(3 \leq X \leq 11) \):
From 3 to 11 inclusive: \( 11 - 3 + 1 = 9 \) values
So, \( \frac{9}{13} \).
Let me know if you meant something different!
