Given:
Probability distribution table is:
Household Size : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Probability : 0.04 0.09 0.14 0.20 0.29 0.14 0.08 0.02
To find:
The probability that there are less than 5 members in a household in India.
Solution:
Let x be the number of members in a household. The probability that there are less than 5 members in a household in India is:
[tex]P(x<5)=P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)[/tex]
[tex]P(x<5)=0.04+0.09+0.14+0.20[/tex]
[tex]P(x<5)=0.47[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that there are less than 5 members in a household in India is 0.47.
