Question 114

A biased spinner can only land on one of the numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4. The random variable X X\,X represents the number that the spinner lands on after a single spin and P(X=r)=P(X=r+1)P(X = r) = P(X = r + 1)P(X=r)=P(X=r+1) for r=1,3r = 1, 3r=1,3

Given that P(X=1)=0.15P(X = 1) = 0.15P(X=1)=0.15

The random variable Y=7−3XY = 7 - 3XY=7−3X. Find P(Y+X≥0)P(Y + X \geq 0)P(Y+X≥0)
