The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) compiles data on space-shuttle launches and publishes them on its website. 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 X denote the crew size of a randomly selected shuttle mission between the aforementioned dates.
a. What are the possible values of the random variable X?
b. Use random-variable notation to represent the event that the shuttle mission obtained has a crew size of 7.
c. Find P(X = 4); interpret in terms of percentages.
d. Obtain the probability distribution of X.
e. Construct a probability histogram for X. |
