Question

Errors in an experimental transmission channel are found when thetransmission is checked by a certifier that detects missing pulses.The number of errors found in a eight-bit byte is a random variablewith the following distribution:
F(x) = { 0 x<1
0.7 1 <= x < 4
0.9 4 <= x < 7
1 7 <= x

Determine each of the following probabilities:
(a) P(X <= 4) (b) P(X > 7)
(c) P(X <= 5) (d) P(X > 4)
(e) P(X <= 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

As shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that when X denotes the errors in an experimental transmission channel, when checked by a certifier that detects missing pulses. follows the cumulative density function as given below:

$F(x) = 0, 0<x<1\\       = 0.7, 1\leq X<4\\       =0.9, 4\leq X<7\\        = 1, x\geq 7$

$(a) P(X \leq  4) =F(4) = 0.9\\(b) P(X > 7)=1-F(8) = 0\\(c) P(X \leq  5)=F(6) = 0.9 \\(d) P(X> 4)=1-F(4)=1-0.9=0.1 \\(e) P(X \leq  2)=F(3) = 0.7$
