If $X$ is a r. v. with c. d. f. $F(x)$ and its probability distribution is given by then, $\mathrm{F}(1 \cdot 5)-\mathrm{F}(-0 \cdot 5)=$
  1. $0 \cdot 2$
  2. $0 \cdot 3$
  3. $0 \cdot 1$
  4. $0 \cdot 4$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} F(1.5)-F(-0.5) \\ =P[X \leq 1.5]-P[X \leq-0.5] \\ =[P(X=-1.5)+P(X=-0.5)+P(X=0.5)+P(X=1.5)]-[P(X=-1.5)+P(X=-0.5)] \\ =P(X=0.5)+P(X=1.5)=0.15+0.25=0.4 \end{array}$
