 What does it REALLY
mean?
In other words, computing the probability of a given random
variable means determining the likelihood of specific
outcomes within the defined sample space.

Computing the probability corresponding to a given

random variable involves finding the likelihood of a particular
outcome or range of outcomes for that random variable,
based on its probability distribution.
 FORMULA:

P refers to Probability
X refers to the unknown random variable
x refers to the outcome value
PMF stands for Probably Mass Function
 PROBABILITY MASS FUNCTION

Probably Mass Function (PMF) sometimes ‘probability

law’ or ‘probability distribution’ refers to the
mathematical function used to describe the
probabilities of a DISCRETE random variable taking on
specific values.

1. Non-Negative. The likelihood of an outcome should

never be less than ZERO.

2. All sum to one. All the probabilities of possible

outcomes must add to 1.

SOLVING
Remember!
Ex. 1

The data in the table shows the probabilities

of receiving emails each day as an Inbox
Manager.

Solve the following equations:

Ex. 1

The data in the table shows the probabilities

of receiving emails each day as an Inbox
Manager.

Solve the following equations:

a. Solve for P(X < 5)

Ex. 1

The data in the table shows the probabilities

of receiving emails each day as an Inbox
Manager.

Solve the following equations:

a. Solve for P(X < 5)

b. Probability of at least 6 emails in a day?

Ex. 1

a. P(X < 5)
P(X < 5) = P(4) + P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)
= 0.1 + 0.09 + 0.11 + 0.08 + 0.15
= 0.53
Ex. 1

a. P(X < 5)
P(X < 5) = P(4) + P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)
= 0.1 + 0.09 + 0.11 + 0.08 + 0.15
= 0.53

a. P(X ≥ 6)
P(X ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)
= 0.21 + 0.10 + 0.02 + 0.05 + 0.03
= 0.41
Ex. 2
Crystal owns a bakeshop named “Crystal’s Sweets”,
Opening from 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM. After running the business
for the past few months, Crystal was able to observe the sold
products create a table of records with a probability
distribution of X.

However, Crystal wonders if:

Ex. 2
a. P (X < 20)
P (X < 20) = P(10) + P(0)
= 0.14 + 0.075
= 0.215
Ex. 2
a. P (X < 20)
P (X < 20) = P(10) + P(0)
= 0.14 + 0.075
= 0.215
b. P (X ≥ 40)
P (X ≥ 40) = P(40) + P(50) + P(60) + P(70)
= 0.15 + 0.03 + 0.17 + 0.095
= 0.445

a. P (X < 20)
P (X < 20) = P(10) + P(0)

Act. 1
Amy launches a website to the internet called
“TechFacts.com”. Amy notices that each day, a random
amount of users open the website. She created a table to
keep track of the visits.

a. What is the probability that no more than 400 users

visit the website each day?

b. What is the probability that below 800, but no less

than 300 users visit the site each day?

c. Solve for P(X>700)

Act. 2
You are a Tech Support specialist working at Riot Games,
receiving and sifting through thousands of customer Emails
about issues regarding your company’s products. The
following data shows the probability of how many emails can
amount to each day.

a. What is the probability that less than 4000, but at

least 2000 emails are received each day?

b. What is the probability that 3000 no less than emails

are received each day?
c. Solve for (3000 < X < 5000)
Act. 1
a. P(X ≥ 400)
P(X ≥ 400) = P(400) + P(300) + P(200) + P(100) + P(0)
= 0.19 + 0.11 + 0.09 + 0.07 + 0.02
= 0.48

b. P(300 ≤ X < 800)

(300 ≤ X < 800) = P(3OO) + P(400) + P(500) + P600) + P(7OO)
= 0.11 + 0.19 + 0.22 + 0.16 + 0.04
= 0.72
c. P(X>700)
P(X>700) = P(800) + P(900) + P(1000)
= 0.02 + 0.03 + 0.05
= 0.1
Act. 2
a. P(2000 ≤ X < 4000)
P(2000 ≤ X < 4000) = P(2000) + P(3000)
1 1 3
P(2000 ≤ X < 4000) = 2
+ 4
= 4 or 0.75

b. P(X ≥ 3000)
P(X ≥ 3000) = P(3000) + P(4000) + P (5000)
= 1 1 1 11
