Question3.12 An investment firm offers its customers municipal bonds that mature after varying numbers of years. Given that the cumulative distribution function of TT, the number of years to maturity for a randomly selected bond, is F(t)={0,t<1,14,1t<3,12,3t<5,34,5t<7,1,t7,F(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 0, & t<1, \\ \frac{1}{4}, & 1 \leq t<3, \\ \frac{1}{2}, & 3 \leq t<5, \\ \frac{3}{4}, & 5 \leq t<7, \\ 1, & t \geq 7, \end{array}\right. find (a) P(T=5)P(T=5);

Studdy Solution
Calculate P(T=5) P(T = 5) using the identified values:
P(T=5)=F(5)F(5)=3412=14 P(T = 5) = F(5) - F(5^-) = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}
The probability P(T=5) P(T = 5) is:
14 \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}
