Probability Distributions
6.53 If X is the random variable showing the number of boys in families with 4 children (see Problem 6.51),
(a) construct a table showing the probability distribution of X and (b) represent the distribution in part
(a) graphically.
6.54 A continuous random variable X that can assume values only between X = 2 and 8 inclusive has a
density function given by a{X + 3}, where a is a constant. (a) Calculate a. Find (b) Pr{3 < X<5},
