Q.

A random variable X has the following probability distribution:

X:12345678
p(X):0.150.230.120.100.200.080.070.05

For the events E={X   is  a   prime   number} and F={X<4}, then the value of 100  P(EF) is

E={x  is  a  prime  number}={2,3,5,7}

P(E)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=5)+P(X=7)=0.23+0.12+0.20+0.07=0.62

F={X<4}={1,2,3}

P(F)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)=0.15+0.23+0.12=0.5

EF={X    is  prime  as  well  as   less  than  4}={2,3}

P(EF)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)=0.23+0.12=0.35

Therefore, the required probability is 

P(EF)=P(E)+P(F)P(EF)=0.62+0.50.35=0.77
