Explanation / Answer

sOLUTION3:

total probability =1

0.02+x+0.24+0.30+0.28+0.07+0.04=1

x+0.95=1

x=1-0.95

x=0.05

P(X=0)=0.05

OPTION D

soLUTION4:

X=200,250,300,350,400

totalp(x)=0.24+0.3+.28+0.07+0.04

=0.93

ANSWER 0.93

OPTION B

sOLUTIN5:

MEAN=xf(x)

=-100*0.02+0*0.05+200*0.24+250*0.30+300*0.28+350*0.07+400*0.04

MEAN =245.5

OPTION D

sOLUTION6:

Variance=total x^2f(x)-mean2

=(-100)2 .(0.02)+02 (0.05)+2002 (0.24)+2502 (0.30)+3002 (0.28)+3502 (0.07)+4002(0.04)-(245.5)2

=$8454.75

OPTION C

The probability that X-Tract will break even is, f(x = 0) =
