Probability Distribution Function (PDF) for a Discrete Random Variable · Exercise 1

A company wants to evaluate its attrition rate, in other words, how long new hires stay with the company. Over the years, they have established the following probability distribution.

Let X = the number of years a new hire will stay with the company.

Let P(x) = the probability that a new hire will stay with the company x years.

Complete using the data provided.

$$\begin{array}{cc}\text{x}& \text{P(x)}\\ \text{0}& \text{0.12}\\ \text{1}& \text{0.18}\\ \text{2}& \text{0.30}\\ \text{3}& \text{0.15}\\ \text{4}& \\ \text{5}& \text{0.10}\\ \text{6}& \text{0.05}\end{array}$$
