MCQ

A random variable X has the following probability distribution:

X:	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
P(X):	0.15	0.23	0.12	0.10	0.20	0.08	0.07	0.05

Find the events E = {X : X is a prime number}, F{X : X < 4}, the probability $\text{P}(\text{E}\cup\text{F})$ is:

✓
0.50
B
0.77
C
0.35
D
0.87

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

0.50

P(E) = P(2) + P(3) + P(5) + P(7)
P(E) = 0.23 + 0.12 + 0.20 + 0.07

P(E) = 0.62

And

P(F) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

P(F) = 0.15 + 0.23 + 0.12

P(F) = 0.5

Also,

$\text{P}(\text{E}\cap\text{F})=\text{P}(2)+\text{P}(3)$

$\text{P}(\text{E}\cap\text{F})=0.23+0.12$

$\text{P}(\text{E}\cap\text{F})=0.35$

$\text{P}(\text{E}\cup\text{F})=\text{P}(\text{E})+\text{P(F)}-\text{P}(\text{E}\cap\text{F})$

$\text{P}(\text{E}\cup\text{F})=0.62+0.5-0.35$

$\text{P}(\text{E}\cup\text{F})=0.77$
