Summary Introduction
The measured angle of North Star above the horizon. Whether the measured angle changes over the week.
Introduction:
Polaris is a star that is situated above the North Pole. It is also known as the North Star. It has a moderate brightness. It is important for the sailors as it helps them in detecting the direction in the night. This star is observed in the northern shy.

The values in the first column show the number of months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons. Let x be a random variable indicating the number of months a randomly selected person is unemployed. Use the data to develop an empirical discrete probability distribution for x. Show that your probability distribution satisfies the conditions for a valid discrete probability distribution. What is the probability that a person is unemployed for two months or less? Unemployed for more than two months? What is the probability that a person is unemployed for more than six months?arrow_forward
