The following table displays a frequency distribution for the number of crew members on each shuttle mission from April 12, 1981 to July 8, 2011.
Let C = Crew Size
a) How many shuttle missions were there from April 12th, 1981 to July 8, 2011?
b) Create a
C = c | P(C = c) |
2 | 0.0148 |
4 | 0.2963 |
5 | 0.0370 |
6 | 0.0444 |
7 | 0.0518 |
8 | 0.5296 |
1.0000 |
Use your probability distribution to find:
c) P(C = 6) =
d) P(C is at least 4) =
e) P(C is no more than 7) =
f) P (4 ≤ C ≤ 7) =
g) P (2 < C ≤ 5) =
h) What is the expected crew size? E(C) =
