The following is the probability mass function for a discrete random variable X, P(x)=x100;X=10,20,30,40P(x) = \frac{x}{100}; X = 10, 20, 30, 40

Determine the CDF at X=30, i.e., F(30)

Explanation:

The cumulative distribution function (cdf) F(x) defines the probability of a random variable X, and assumes a value equal to or less than a specified value, x. As such:

F(30)=P(X≤30)=P(X=10)+P(X=20)+P(X=30)=10100+20100+30100=0.6 or 60%F(30) = P(X \leq 30) \\ = P(X = 10) + P(X = 20) + P(X = 30) \\ = \frac{10}{100} + \frac{20}{100} + \frac{30}{100} \\ = 0.6 \text{ or } 60\%
