1a. A mail-order computer business has six telephone lines.
Let X denote the number of lines in use at a specified time.
Suppose the pmf of X is as given in the accompanying table.
x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
p(x) 0.12 0.15 0.18 0.25 0.20 0.06 0.04
Calculate the cdf F(x).
x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
F(x)
- Graph the cdf F(x).
Use the graph to calculate the probabilities of the events
given below.
(a) {at most three lines are in use}
(b) {fewer than three lines are in use}
(c) {at least three lines are in use}
(d) {between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use}
2b. A department store sells sport shirts in three sizes
(small, medium, and large), three patterns (plaid, print, and
stripe), and two sleeve lengths (long and short). The accompanying
tables give the proportions of shirts sold in the various category
combinations.

(a) What is the probability that the next shirt sold is a
medium, long-sleeved, print shirt?
(b) What is the probability that the next shirt sold is a
medium print shirt?
(c) What is the probability that the next shirt sold is a
short-sleeved shirt? A long-sleeved shirt?
short-sleeved shirt
long-sleeved shirt
(d) What is the probability that the size of the next shirt
sold is medium?
What is the probability that the pattern of the next shirt
sold is a print?
(e) Given that the shirt just sold was a short-sleeved plaid,
what is the probability that its size was medium? (Round your
answer to three decimal places.)
(f) Given that the shirt just sold was a medium plaid, what is
the probability that it was short-sleeved? Long-sleeved? (Round
your answer to three decimal places.)
short-sleeved
long-sleeved
