Question

1(a)Consider the following function for a value of c.
f(x)= {2/7  cx, 0≤x≤2

           2c(3−x) ,  2≤x≤4

                      0, otherwise

Comment on the output of these probabilities below, what will be the conclusion of your output.
(i)Evaluate c
(ii)find (a) p(1≤x≤2) 
            (b) p(x>2).

 

(b) It is known that only 60% of a defected computer can be
repaired. A sample of 8 computers is selected randomly, find
the probability that;
(i) At most 3 computers can be repaired.
(ii) 5 or less can be repaired
(iii) None can be repaired
Based on your output for these, how will you have advised after a critical analysis from your output
