Answer:

a. P(X = 2) = 0.2

b. P(X = 3) = 0.3

c. P(X > 2.5) = 0.7

d. P(X = 1) = 0.1

e. Mean = 3

f. Variance = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Probability mass function (pmf) = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{x}{5} ) = \frac{x}{10}

Now,

a. P(X = 2) = \frac{2}{10} = 0.2

b. P(X = 3) = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3

c. P(X > 2.5) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = 0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7

d. P(X = 1) = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1

e. Mean = E(X) = 1.\frac{1}{10} + 2.\frac{2}{10} + 3.\frac{3}{10} + 4.\frac{4}{10} = 0.1 + 0.4 + 0.9 + 1.6 = 3

f. Variance = E(X²) - [ E(X) ]² = 1^{2} .\frac{1}{10} + 2^{2} .\frac{2}{10} + 3^{2} .\frac{3}{10} + 4^{2} .\frac{4}{10}  - [3]²

                                             = 0.1 + 0.8 + 2.7 + 6.4 - 9

                                             = 10 - 9 = 1

∴ we get

a. P(X = 2) = 0.2

b. P(X = 3) = 0.3

c. P(X > 2.5) = 0.7

d. P(X = 1) = 0.1

e. Mean = 3

f. Variance = 1

The associative property of addition is pretty much just any numbers in place of these: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c. Therefore, your answer would be d) (6 + 1) + 9 = 6 + (1 + 9)
