The probability function of a random variable X is given by
p(x) = `{{:(1/4",", "for" x = - 2),(1/4",", "for" x = 0),(1/2",", "for" x = 10),(0",", "elsewhere"):}`

P(X ≤ 0)

उत्तर
| X | – 2 | 0 | 10 |
| PX = x) | `1/4` | `1/4` | `1/2` |
P(x ≤ 0) = P( x = – 2) + P(x = 0)
= `1/4+ 1/4`
= `2/4`
= `1/2`
