Question 2


 

Suppose Y = the number of years that a person has worked for one company from a randomly selected person in the work force. Given the following values of the cumulative distribution function (CDF), what is the ?
  CDF: FY(2) = 0.05, FY(4) = 0.15, FY(6) = 0.45, FY(8) = 0.60, FY(10) = 0.75, FY(12) = 0.95


 

  a.
 

b. = F(10) - F(2) = 0.75 - 0.05 = 0.70
