Suppose a random variable X is best described by a uniform probability distribution with range 1 to 5. Find the value of that makes the following probability statements true. a) P(X <-a)= 0.95
b) P(X c) P(X d) P(X ->a)= 0.89
e) P(X >a)= 0.31

a) 4.8

b) 2.96

c) 4.4

d) 1.44

e) 3.76

Step-by-step explanation:

What we will do is solve point by point, knowing the following:

Fx (x) = P (X <= x) = (x - 1) / 4

a) P (X <-a) = 0.95

Fx (a) = 0.95

(a -1) / 4 = 0.95

a = 1 + 0.95 * 4

a = 4.8

b) P (X <a) = 0.49

Fx (a) = 0.49

(a -1) / 4 = 0.49

a = 1 + 0.49 * 4

a = 2.96

c) P (X <a) = 0.85

Fx (a) = 0.85

(a -1) / 4 = 0.55

a = 1 + 0.85 * 4

a = 4.4

d) P (X> a) = 0.89

P (X <a) = 1 - 0.89 = 0.11

Fx (a) = 0.11

(a -1) / 4 = 0.11

a = 1 + 0.11 * 4

a = 1.44

e) P (X> a) = 0.31

P (X <a) = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69

Fx (a) = 0.69

(a -1) / 4 = 0.69

a = 1 + 0.69 * 4

a = 3.76
