ntractor is required by a county planning department to submit one, two, three, four, or five forms (depending on the nature of the project) in applying for a building permit. Let Y= the number of forms required of the next applicant. The probability that y forms required is known to be proportional to y-that is, p(y) = ky for y= 1,..., 5. (Enter your answers as fractions.) What is the value of K? [Hint: p(y) = 1] What is the probability that at most three forms are required? What is the probability that between two and four forms (inclusive) are required? Could p(y) = y=1 1² fo for y= 1,..., 5 be the pmf of Y? ---Select-- , because p(y) = y=1
