Catherine · Answer 1

Let x represents the number of dvds sold per day:

To complete the probability distribution table, you need to add all the probabilities given and deduct that to 1 so that you can get the probability of 5-9, applying what I have said:Probability of 5-9: = 1 - (0.1875+0.4375+0.1250) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.2500

But the question is not asking for the probability of 5-9, but 5 or more. So deduct the. 1875 to 1 since. 1875 only represents 0-4. P (X> = 5) = 1 - 0.1875 = 0.8125
