A mail-order computer business has six telephone lines. Let $X$ denote the number of lines in use at a specified time. Suppose the pmf of $X$ is as given in the accompanying table.

$x$ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
$p(x)$ .10 .15 .20 .25 .20 .06 .04


 

Calculate the probability of each of the following events.

  • (a) $\{$ at most 3 lines are in use $\}$
  • (b) $\{$ fewer than 3 lines are in use $\}$
  • (c) $\{$ at least 3 lines are in use $\}$
  • (d) $\{$ between 2 and 5 lines, inclusive, are in use $\}$
  • (e) $\{$ between 2 and 4 lines, inclusive, are not in use $\}$
  • (f) $\{$ at least 4 lines are not in use $\}$
