Question
For a continuous random variable X, P(28 < X < 72) = 0.26 and P(X > 72) = 0.2. Calculate the following probabilities. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

a. P(X < 72) b. P(X < 28) c. P(X = 72)Explanation / Answer
given
P(28<X<72)=0.26
P(X>72)=0.20
this gives P(X<72)=1-P(X>72)=1-0.20=.80
A)since X is continuous distribution so
P(X<72)=P(X<72)=0.80
B)
P(X<28)=?
since P(28<X<72)=P(X<72)-P(X<28)=0.26
this implies
P(X<28)=P(X<72)-0.26=0.80-0.26=0.54
C)
as distribution is continuous
hence P(X=72)=0
