One of the important properties of the probability density function, f(x), of a random variable X is f(x) 2 0, for all values of X.
Select one:
O True
O False

Let X be the number of years before a particular type of machines will need replacement. Assume that X has the probability function f(1) = 0.1, f(2) = 0.2, f(3) = 0.2, f(4) = 0.2, f(5) = 0.3. Find the probability that the machine needs no replacement during the first 3 years.
