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 probability distribution for the random variable C

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) =
