How can I simplify the following probability equation based on cumulative distribution function of X:



P(X>a)>b


which P is the probability of X and X has a known probability distribution function and a & b are real positive numbers.

  • Back to the problem: Start with $X$ has cdf $F_X(X le a) = 1 - P(X > a).$ You can get other, possibly useful, relationships from there. Not sure whether I'd call the 'simplifications'.

$$P(X>a)>b$$



$$-P(X>a)<-b$$
$$1-P(X>a)<1-b$$



$$P(X le a)<1-b$$



$$F_X(a)<1-b$$
