Question

the choice of an integer from O to 9, is it more likely that he or she will choose an integer near the middle of the sequence than one at either end? (a) If the integers are equally likely to be chosen, find the probability distribution for x, the number chosen. (Enter your probability as a fraction.) p(x) for x 0, 1,29 b) What is the probability that a person will choose a 4, 5, or 6? (Enter your probability as a fraction.) c) What is the probability that a person willnot choose a 4,5, or 67 (Enter your probability as a fraction.)

Explanation / Answer

a) P(x) =1/10 (as all 10 numbers are equally likely)

b)P(4 .5 or 6 )=3/10

c)P(not choose 4 .5 or 6 )=1- 3/10 =7/10
