Total cost of item = $138

Explanation:

The tax percentage = 15%

cost of item = $120

sales tax = cost of item × The tax percentage

sales tax = 120 × 15%

=120 × 0.15

sales tax = $18

Total cost of item = initial cost of item + sales tax

Total cost of item = 120 + 18

Total cost of item = $138

A random variableX= {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} has cumulative distribution function.a) Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5.b) Find the

Answer:

a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619

b) E(X) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:

$F(X) = P ( X =< x) = 1 - \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)}$

Find:

a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5

b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that

Solution:

- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.

$F(X) = P ( 3=$

- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:

E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )

$E(X) = \frac{1}{(x+1)*(x+2)} = \frac{1}{(x+1)} - \frac{1}{(x+2)} \\\\= \frac{1}{(1)} - \frac{1}{(2)}\\\\= \frac{1}{(2)} - \frac{1}{(3)} \\\\= \frac{1}{(3)} - \frac{1}{(4)}\\\\= ............................................\\\\= \frac{1}{(n)} - \frac{1}{(n+1)}\\\\= \frac{1}{(n+1)} - \frac{1}{(n+ 2)}$
