Question

Determine the median of Alex‘s probability distribution

Answer 1

To determine the median of Alex's probability distribution, we need to arrange the outcomes in ascending order of their probabilities and find the middle value.

Let's assume the probability distribution is as follows:

Outcome 1: Probability 0.1
Outcome 2: Probability 0.2
Outcome 3: Probability 0.3
Outcome 4: Probability 0.2
Outcome 5: Probability 0.2

Now, we need to arrange the outcomes in ascending order of their probabilities:

Outcome 1: Probability 0.1
Outcome 2: Probability 0.2
Outcome 3: Probability 0.2
Outcome 4: Probability 0.2
Outcome 5: Probability 0.3

The middle value is the 3rd outcome, which has a probability of 0.2.

Therefore, the median of Alex's probability distribution is 0.2.
