Let's break down the problem step by step:
**Given:**
\( X \) is a uniform random variable over the values \( x = 1, 2, ..., 13 \).
So, \( X \) takes integer values from 1 to 13, each with equal probability.
Total possible values: 13
Probability of any single value:
\[
P(X = k) = \frac{1}{13},\quad \text{for } k = 1,2,...,13
\]
---
### a. \( P(X=5) \)
As established above:
\[
P(X=5) = \frac{1}{13}
\]
---
### b. \( P(X5) \)
I believe this is a typo or formatting error. If you meant **\( P(X < 5) \)**, then:
\( X \) can take values \( 1, 2, 3, 4 \) (values less than 5), so:
Number of favorable outcomes: 4
Total outcomes: 13
\[
P(X<5) = \frac{4}{13}
\]
If you meant something else, please clarify.
---
### c. \( P(X > 3) \)
Possible values: \( 4, 5, ..., 13 \)
How many values? \( 13 - 3 = 10 \)
\[
P(X > 3) = \frac{10}{13}
\]
---
### d. \( P(3X11) \)
I believe you meant \( P(3 < X < 11) \) (i.e., \( X \) is strictly between 3 and 11).
Possible values: \( 4, 5, ..., 10 \)
How many values? \( 10 - 4 + 1 = 7 \)
\[
P(3 < X < 11) = \frac{7}{13}
\]
---
## **Summary Table**
| Part | Probability Statement | Value |
|------|------------------------------|--------------|
| a | \( P(X = 5) \) | \( \frac{1}{13} \) |
| b | \( P(X < 5) \) (assumed) | \( \frac{4}{13} \) |
| c | \( P(X > 3) \) | \( \frac{10}{13} \)|
| d | \( P(3 < X < 11) \) | \( \frac{7}{13} \) |
If "b" and "d" mean something different, please clarify!
