Step 1- Writing given data
Given that
Probability distribution data
X | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
P(x) | 0.104 | - | 0.312 | 0.240 | 0.098 | 0.017 |
We know that
Total probability = 1
P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3) + P(x=4) + P(x=5) + P(x=6) = 1
0.104 + P(x=2) + 0.312 + 0.240 + 0.098 +0.017 = 1
P(x=2) + 0.771 = 1
P(x=2) = 10.771 = 0.229
P(x=2) = 0.229

Of these parcels, 2% arrive after the guaranteed delivery time( L - the event late delivery). If a record of overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via E, and was late? Suppose that 50% of the overnight parcels are sent via express mail E, and the remaining 10% are sent via E3 Of those sent via E₂, only 1% arrive late, whereas 5% of the parcels handled by E, arrive late. b) What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late? c) If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that it was not sent via E₁.arrow_forward
