Answer to Question #280257 in Mechanical Engineering for Lloyd

Question

Construct the cumulative distribution function of problem b

Answer 1

cumulative distribution function: The PMF is one way to describe the distribution of a discrete random variable. As we will see later on, PMF cannot be defined for continuous random variables. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a random variable is another method to describe the distribution of random variables. The advantage of the CDF is that it can be defined for any kind of random variable (discrete, continuous, and mixed).
