Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose we have a biased die with the following PMF: {1: 0.1, 2: 0.2, 3: 0.4, 4: 0.1, 5: 0.1, 6: 0.1}. Calculate F(4). What does this tell you about the probabilities related to outcomes less than or equal to 4?

💡 Hint: Sum the probabilities for outcomes 1 through 4.

Question 2

In an engineering application, a component’s life expectancy follows the PMF {<1 year: 0.15, 1-2 years: 0.25, 2-3 years: 0.4, >3 years: 0.2}. Determine the CDF at the end of 2 years and discuss its significance.

💡 Hint: Consider all probabilities up to the 2 years range.
