TopicDiscrete Probability Distributions
TypeFind cumulative distribution F(x)

  1. The discrete random variable \(Y\) has the following probability distribution
\(y\)- 9- 5059
\(\mathrm { P } ( Y = y )\)\(q\)\(r\)\(u\)\(r\)\(q\)
where \(q , r\) and \(u\) are probabilities.
  1. Write down the value of \(\mathrm { E } ( Y )\) The cumulative distribution function of \(Y\) is \(\mathrm { F } ( y )\)
    Given that \(F ( 0 ) = \frac { 19 } { 30 }\)
  2. show that the value of \(u\) is \(\frac { 4 } { 15 }\) Given also that \(\operatorname { Var } ( Y ) = 37\)
  3. find the value of \(q\) and the value of \(r\) The coordinates of a point \(P\) are \(( 12 , Y )\) The random variable \(D\) represents the length of \(O P\)
  4. Find the probability distribution of \(D\)
