Complete question :
For a continuous random variable X, P(23 ≤ X ≤ 66) = 0.25 and P(X > 66) = 0.14. Calculate the following probabilities. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
a. P(X < 66)
b. P(X < 23)
c. P(X = 66)
Answer:
P(X < 66) = 0.86
P(X < 23) = 0.61
P(X = 66) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
X, P(23 ≤ X ≤ 66) = 0.25 and
P(X > 66) = 0.14 ;
Recall:
P(x ≤ a) + p(x ≥ a) = 1
Then ; P(X < 0.66) = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86
Hence,
P(X < 0.66) = 0.86
P(23 ≤ X ≤ 66) = 0.25
P(X < 66) = 0.86
Hence,
P(X < 23) = 0.86 - 0.25 = 0.61
Probability that a continuous random variable is exactly equal to a particular number equals 0
Hence,
P(X = 66) = 0
