Chapter 5: Q.5.6 (page 346)

For a continuous probability distribution, 0≤x≤15. What is P(x>15)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability will beP(x>15)=0.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that a continuous probability distribution0≤x≤15

02

Solution

Here in the question we are asked to find P(x>15)

So,

P(x>15)=1−P(x≤15)

Since, 0≤x≤15,P(0≤x≤15)=1. Thus,

P(x>15)=1−[P(x<0)+P(0≤x≤15)]

=1−[0+1]

=0
