Question

2. Let X be a continuous random variable with pdf f(x) = { cx^2, |x| ? 1, 0, otherwise, where the parameter c is constant (with respect to x). (a) Find the constant c. (b) Compute the cumulative distribution function F(x) of X. (c) Use F(x) (from b) to determine P(X ? 1/2). (d) Find E(X) and V(X).

Let X be a continuous random variable with pdf f(x) = { c if 0 < x < 1, 0 otherwise, where the parameter c is constant with respect to x. Find the constant c. (b) Compute the cumulative distribution function F(x) of X. (c) Use F(x) (from b) to determine P(X ≥ 1/2). (d) Find E(X) and V(X).
