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)}

                   E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]  

                   E(X) = 1

I need help plz pt.2​
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the sequence \dfrac{1}{32},\ \dfrac{1}{8},\ \dfrac{1}{2}, 2,\ 8,...

Rewrite it as

b_1=\dfrac{1}{32},\\ \\b_2=\dfrac{1}{8},\\ \\b_3=\dfrac{1}{2},\\ \\b_4=2,\\ \\b_5=8...

The points on the coordinate plane are

(1,b_1),\ (2,b_2),\ (3,b_3),\ (4,b_4),\ (5,b_5),... (see attached graph).

Since

4=\dfrac{b_2}{b_1}=\dfrac{b_3}{b_2}=\dfrac{b_4}{b_3}=\dfrac{b_5}{b_4}..., given sequence is geometric.
