Step 1

The CDF of a random variable X is a function that gives the probability that X is less than or equal to a certain value. In this case, F(x) is defined as follows: - F(x) = 1 for x < -1. This means that the probability of X being less than -1 is 1, or 100%. In Show more…

Suppose the random variable X has the cdf F(x) = 0, for x < -1 (x+2)/4, for -1 ≤ x < 1 1, for 1 ≤ x Write an R function to sketch the graph of F(x). Use your graph to obtain the probabilities: (a) P(-1/2 < X ≤ 1/2); (b) P(X = 0); (c) P(X = 1); (d) P(2 < X ≤ 3).
