May I ask why integration was used when this is a PMF and not a PDF?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Probability obtained.

Your concern is right. It should have been PMF instead of PDF.

Also there was problem in finding P(T subscript 1 plus T subscript 2 greater or equal than 10) , it should have been =fraction numerator A r e a space o f space B over denominator 20 end fraction

Area of B=Area of (B+C) - Area of C

=1 half(10-6)(4-2) - 1 half(8-6)(4-2) = 4-2 = 2, therefore,

P(T subscript 1 plus T subscript 2 greater or equal than 10) = 2 over 20 =0.1

f(t subscript 1 comma end subscript t subscript 2) =1 over 20 obtained earlier was correct

This was the area of (A+C+B)
