Let X denote the time in minutes (rounded to the nearest ½
minute) for blood samples to be taken from patients in UrgentCare
clinic near Mountainside, NJ. A random survey of 200 patients
revealed the following frequency distribution in minutes.
X = x (mins)
0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5
Freq (# of patients)
20 38 62 44 14 22
Determine the following:
a) P (X < 2.0)
b) P (0.75 < X ≤ 1.5)
c) P (X ≥ 2.0)
d) P (X = 1.5)
e) Mean and standard deviation of the random variable X
f) Interpretation of mean of random variable X.
g) Draw a probability histogram (pdf) for the random variable X and
locate the mean (draw a vertical dash line to indicate the mean) in
a graph. Mark the x-axis and y-axis and indicate the variables and
the scales appropriately.
h) Construct the c.d.f. for the random variable X in a graph
formats. Mark the x-axis and y-axis and indicate the variable and
the scale appropriately.
