Let the random variable XX be the number of rooms in a randomly chosen owner-occupied housing unit in a certain city. The distribution for the units is given below.

 

X 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
P(X) 0.07 0.27 0.37 0.19 0.03 0.04 0.02 ?

(a) Is X a discrete or continuous random variable? (Type: DISCRETE or CONTINUOUS)
ANSWER: 

(b) What must be the probability of choosing a unit with 10 rooms? P(X=10)

(c) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has three rooms? P(X=3)

(d) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has more than 5 rooms? P(X>5)

(e) What is the probability that a unit chosen at random has less than five rooms? P(X<5)
