Transcribed Image Text:2. Let X be a discrete random variable with probability function
f(x) = P(X=x) = (1-p) p²-2 for x =
= 2, 3, 4, 5,...
for some 0 < p < 1.
(a) Find P(X> 4).
(b) Find P(X=3+x | X > 4) for x = 2,3,4.... and compare this with P(X = x).
(c) Let R be the remainder when X is divided by 5 (so R. is a random variable taking possible values
0 or 1,2,3,4). Find the probability function and the cumulative distribution function for R.
(d) Find the Expected Value E(R) and the variance Var (R) in the case p =
= 1/2.
