Suppose a continuous random variable X has the following probability density function: f(x) = c, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 0, otherwise (a) Find the value of c that makes f(x) a valid probability density function. (Recall a property that a PDF must have) (b) Give the CDF, F(x). (c) Find P(1 ≤ X ≤ 3) using f(x). (d) Find P(2 ≤ X ≤ 4) using F(x). (e) Find the value of x such that the probability of being less than x is 0.75. (f) Find E(X). (g) Find Var(X).
