Answer:
vertex = (2, - 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic in standard form : ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
= - 
x² - 4x - 5 ← is in standard form
with a = 1, b = - 4, thus
= -
= 2
Substitute this value into the quadratic for corresponding value of y
(2)² - 4(2) - 5 = 4 - 8 - 5 = - 9
vertex = (2, - 9 )
Answer:
a)
X | 1 3 5 7
f(X) | 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.2
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have defined the cumulative distribution function like this:





And we know that the general definition for the distribution function is given by:

Where f represent the density function.
Part a
For this case we need to find the density function, so we can find the values for the density for each value of X = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,... since X is a discrete random variable.







And for any value higher than 7 we have that:
![x_i \in [8,9,10,...]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x_i%20%5Cin%20%5B8%2C9%2C10%2C...%5D)

So then we have our density function defined like this:
X | 1 3 5 7
f(X) | 0.4 0.2 0.2 0.2
Part b
For this case we want to find this probability 
And since the random variable is discrete we can write this like that:
