Suppose that the random variable x, shown below, represents the number times . P(x) represents the probability of a randomly selected person having received that number of speeding tickets during that period. Use the probability distribution table shown below to answer the following questions.
xP(x)00.317610.270520.246930.083240.048550.03336+0.0000
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person has received four tickets in a three-year period?
P(x=4)=P(x=4)=
b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person has received three tickets in a three-year period?
P(x=3)=P(x=3)=
c) What is the probability that that a randomly selected person has received more than one tickets in a three-year period?
P(x>1)=P(x>1)=
d) What is the probability that that a randomly selected person has received two or less tickets in a three-year period?
P(x2)=P(x2)=

a) According to a probability distribution table, the likelihood that a randomly chosen person will have gotten four tickets over a three-year period is as follows:
P(X=4)=0.0485 

b) The following equations provide the likelihood that a randomly chosen individual will obtain three tickets over a three-year period:
P(X=3)=0.0832 

c) The following table provides the likelihood that a randomly chosen individual will have received more than one ticket over a three-year period:
P(X>1)=1(P(X=0)+P(X=1)) 
=1(0.3176+0.2705) 
=10.5881 
=0.4119 
 

d) Following are the odds that a randomly chosen individual has received two or fewer tickets over the course of three years: 
P(X2)=(P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)) 
=0.3176+0.2705+0.2469 
=0.835
