Answer:

(a) The Probability that at most three lines are in use is 0.70.

(b) The Probability that fewer than three lines are in use is 0.45.

(c) The Probability that at least three lines are in use is 0.55.

(d) The Probability that between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use is 0.70.

(e) The Probability that between two and four lines, inclusive, are not in use is 0.35.

(f) The Probability that at least four lines are not in use is 0.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is: </u>A mail-order company business has six telephone lines. Let X denote the number of lines in use at a specified time. Suppose the pmf of X is as given in the accompanying table.

X    0          1       2       3          4             5               6

P(X)  0.10      0.15      0.20       0.25         0.20      0.05         0.05  

Calculate the probability of each of the following events.

(a) {at most three lines are in use}

(b) {fewer than three lines are in use}  

(c) {at least three lines are in use}  

(d) {between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use}

(e) {between two and four lines, inclusive, are not in use}

(f) {at least four lines are not in use}

Now considering the above probability distribution;

(a) The Probability that at most three lines are in use is given by = P(X \leq 3)

    P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

                  = 0.10 + 0.15 + 0.20 + 0.25

                  = 0.70

(b) The Probability that fewer than three lines are in use is given by = P(X < 3)

    P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

                  = 0.10 + 0.15 + 0.20

                  = 0.45

(c) The Probability that at least three lines are in use is given by = P(X \geq 3)

    P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

                  = 0.25 + 0.20 + 0.05 + 0.05

                  = 0.55

(d) The Probability that between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use is given by = P(2 \leq X \leq 5)

    P(2 \leq X \leq 5) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

                         = 0.20 + 0.25 + 0.20 + 0.05

                         = 0.70

(e) The Probability that between two and four lines, inclusive, are not in use is given by = 1 - P(2 \leq X \leq 4)

    1 - P(2 \leq X \leq 4) = 1 - [P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)]

                             = 1 - [0.20 + 0.25 + 0.20]

                             = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

(f) The Probability that at least four lines are not in use is given by = 1 - Probability that at least four lines are in use = 1 - P(X \geq 4)

    1 - P(X \geq 4) = 1 - [P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)]

                       = 1 - [0.20 + 0.05 + 0.05]

                       = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70

Mason spent 15.85for 3 notebooks and 2 boxes of markers. the boxes of markers cost 3.95 each, and sales tax was 1.23. Mason also
Likurg_2 [28]
Multiply the amount of the notebooks which is 3, by the cost of the notebook, which is $15.85. that is $47.55. 

to find how much it costs with the coupon, do the notebook cost and subtract that by 0.75

$47.55 - 0.75 = $46.8
