Chapter 3: Discrete Random Variables and Probability DistributionsSection 3.211.a.x 4 6 8P(x) .45 .40 .15b..5 0.4 0R el ativeFreq ue ncy.3 0.2 0.1 00456x78c. P(x = 6) = .40 + .15 = .55 P(x > 6) = .1512.a. In order for the flight to accommodate all the ticketed passengers who show up, no morethan 50 can show up. We need y = 50.P(y = 50) = .05 + .10 + .12 + .14 + .25 + .17 = .83b. Using the information in a. above, P(y > 50) = 1 - P(y = 50) = 1 - .83 = .17c. For you to get on the flight, at most 49 of the ticketed passengers must show up. P(y =49) = .05 + .10 + .12 + .14 + .25 = .66. For the 3 rd person on the standby list, at most 47of the ticketed passengers must show up. P(y = 44) = .05 + .10 + .12 = .2797
