Let Y be a binomial random variable with n = 10 and p = .2. a Use Table 1, Appendix 3, to obtain P(2 < Y < 5) and P(2 Y < 5). Are the probabilities that Y falls in the intevals (2, 5) and [2, 5) equal? Why or why not?b Use Table 1, Appendix 3, to obtain P(2 < Y 5) and P(2 Y 5). Are these two probabilities equal? Why or why not? c Earlier in this section, we argued that if Y is continuous and a < b, then P(a < Y < b) = P(a Y < b). Does the result in part (a) contradict this claim? Why?
