Answer #1

a) the probability expression P(X = 25)  
   P(X = 25) = 0.30

b) the probability expression P(X ≤ 50)
P(X <= 50) = P(X=25) + P(50)
= 0.30 + 0.36 = 0.66
P(X ≤ 50) = 0.66
c) the probability expression P(X > 25)
   P(X > 25) = 1 - P(X<=25)
= 1 - 0.30

  P(X > 25) =0.70
  
d) the probability expression   P(X < 75)
P(X < 75) = 1 - P(X>=75)
= 1 - 0.20 - 0.14
P(X < 75) = 0.46
