Q1
Suppose that the random variable X has the following cumulative distribution function:
x -1 1 3 5
F(x) 1/4 1/2 3/4 1
Find the probability distribution of this random variable.
Find p(x<3),p(x ≥1 )
Find the mean of the random variable X.
Find the standard deviation of the random variable X.
The pdf should be as follows:
x -1 1 3 5
p(x) 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4
Hence it is discrete uniformly distributed.
p(x<3) = p(-1) + p(1) = 1/2, as can be directly read off from the table for F(x).
p(x ≥1) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4, as can be read off again from the table for F(x).
Mean is .
Variance is
==> approximately
