How to read these formulas correctly

[Amiron313]

Hi! Im a begginer in learning english-speakin math, cause its not my native language. I really need your help to find out how to read these formulas (look the files) correctly, cause I have to prepare some kind of talk in front of big audience.

Thank you!

The first one says that "the probability that the random variable, X, is greater than or equal to [tex]x_c[/tex] and less than or equal to [tex]x_d[/tex] is equal to the sum, from i= c to i= d of [tex]f(x_i)[/tex] and that is equal to the sum, from i= c to i= d of [tex]\frac{1}{n}[/tex]". That last equality is a bit peculiar. It says that [tex]f(x_i)= \frac{1}{n}[/tex], a constant, for all i. Because of that all three sums are [tex]\frac{1}{n}(d- c)[/tex].

The second says that "The probability that the random variable, x, is greater than or equal to c and larger than or equal to d is the integral, from x= c to x= d of f(x) with respect to x and that is equal to the integral, from c to d, of [tex]frac{1}{b- a} dx[/tex] which is equal to the fraction [tex]\frac{d- c}{b- a}[/tex]. That is, the function, f(x), is the constant function, [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a}[/tex]". Of course, because [tex]\frac{1}{b- a}[/tex] is a constant, the integral is [tex]\int_c^d \frac{1}{b- a}dx= \frac{1}{b- a}\int_c^d dx= \frac{1}{b-a}(d- c)= \frac{d- c}{b- a}[/tex].

The third says that "the function f(x) is equal to the constant [tex]\frac{1}{b- a}[/tex] as long as x is larger than or equal to a and less than or equal to b and equal to 0 for any other x (less than a or larger than b)."
