Total number os students = 1518859
-------------------------
Let x be a random variable indicating the number of times a student takes the SAT. Show the probability for this random vaiable.(to 4 decimals)
P(x=1) = 721769/1518859 = 0.4752
P(x=2) = 601,325/1518859 = 0.3959
etc. (Use the same method to find the following probabilities)
x=3
x=4
x=5

probability: p(x) =
x(no. of attempts of CAT) | f(x)(no. of students | p(x) (probability)
1 | 721,769 | 721,769/1518,859 = 0.4752
2 | 601,325 | 601,325/1518,859 = 0.3959
3 | 166,763 | 166,763/1518,859 = 0.1098
4 | 22,299 | 22,299/1518,859 = 0.0147
5 | 6,730 | 6,730/1518,859 = 0.0044
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sum | 1518,859 | 1
find sum of all students. it is sum f(x) = 1518,859
and sum of probabilitis should be 1 always.
