    Question

    Suppose the probability distribution of X = the number of jobs per student at a university in the past year is as follows:_____________.

    —————— —— —— —— —— —— Number of jobs X 0 1 2 3 4 Odds 0.14 0.37 0.29 0.15 0.05 —————— —— —— —— —— ——

     

    What then is the probability that, choosing a random student, this student had two or fewer jobs during the past year, such as P(X ≤ 2)?


    1. FALSE: 0,14
    2. FALSE: 0,29
    3. FALSE: 0,37
    4. TRUE: 0,80

    1. 0.14: Incorrect
    2. 0.29: Incorrect
    3. 0.37: Incorrect
