Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:  

Ali does not practice more than 5 times in a month. 

She practices exactly 5 times practices  37% of the time. 

She practices exactly 4 times practices  23% of the time. 

She practices exactly 3 times practices  17% of the time. 

She practices exactly 2 times practices  12% of the time. 

She practices 1-time  6% of the time. 

She practices 0-time  5% of the time. 

Let X denotes the number of times she practices the piano in a month. 

P(X) denotes the probability that she practices X number of times piano in a month. 

 

The Probability Distribution is given by:

X 0 1 2 3 4 5

greater than 5

P(X=x)  0.05 0.06 0.12 0.17 0.23 0.37 0
