Help with statistics random variables?
After manufacture, computer disks are tested for errors. Let X be the number of errors detected on a randomly chosen disk. The following table presents values of the cumulative distribution function F(x) of X.
x F(x)
0 0.41
1 0.72
2 0.83
3 0.95
4 1.00
a) What is the probability that two or fewer errors are detected?
b) What is the probability that no errors are detected?
So what you're saying is P(x) = F(x)?

that's correct. P(x) = F(x). F(x) here is the cumulative probability density function.
