Question:

X is normally distributed and the mean of X is 12 and standard deviation is 4

Find

i)P(0<=X<=12)


Solution

P(X=12) = Z(12-12/4)

=0
Stuck here!

what to do next

Have you drawn yourself a small sketch of what the curve will look like in this case?
Remember that the mean is already at 12.
Also, since this is a continuous distribution, you need to find the probability that X is within a range of values:
P(0<=X<=12) = P(X<=12) - P(X<=0)

Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
