Probability Tree (Q3)

One more exam-style question before we get to the Binomial section of Chapter 7. This solution requires the use of the probability tree to find the probability distribution of x.

REMEMBER » Using a Probability Tree to Get a Discrete Probability Distribution:

  • Each pathway through the tree will lead to an outcome that can be represented as a value of (x) on the discrete random variable table.
  • Add the joint probabilities of all outcomes with the same value of (x) to get the probability P(x) on the dicrete probability distribution table.
