Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a PMF where the probabilities are P(0) = 0.4, P(1) = x, and P(2) = 0.3. Determine x, ensuring the PMF is valid.

💡 Hint: Think about the condition that they must sum to 1.

Question 2

Consider a discrete random variable X with outcomes from a set {1, 2, 3}. If P(X=1) = 0.2, P(X=2) = 0.5, what is P(X=3) needed for normalization?

💡 Hint: Remember normalization requires the total probability to be 1.
