Discrete probability distributions
Below is a probability table for the for the throw of a single dice.
xi | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | P(X = xi) | 1-5t | t | 1-5t | t | 1-5t | t |
(a) Find the value of t
(b) What is the probability of throwing less than a five?
Important This is not a 'textbook on a screen' - this is an interactive learning system. Which means you have to 'act' to make it go.
Look through the options below and select the one you think is the best response. You will gain most benefit if you work the problem with pen and paper as you go, i.e. decide what you think is the correct option and write down what you think the result will be before you click. If the next step doesn't display, click another option.
