Probability. Distribution function












0














Distribution function is $$D(x)=sum_{k=1, kgeq x}^{infty} 2^{-k}$$.



We need to find $mathbb{P}_D({14}cup{15})$ and $mathbb{P}_D([0,5])$.



1) So I think $mathbb{P}_D({14}cup{15})= mathbb{P}_D({14})+ mathbb{P}_D({15})=D(14)+D(15)$ Is it right?



2) What about $mathbb{P}_D([0,5])$?



$mathbb{P}_D([0,5])=D(5)-D(0)$?



is $D(0) = 0$?

  • From the sum it is not look like increasing function. This information is everything I have
