The continuous random variable X has a probability density function (pdf) given by f(x) = { kx, 0 ≤ x < 1 { kx², 1 ≤ x < 2 { 0, otherwise (a) Show that if k is equal to 6/17, then f(x) is a valid probability density function. (b) Find the cumulative distribution function of X. (c) Find the expected value and variance of X.

Someone lets the pdf of X be defined by f(x) = { x 0 <= x <= 1, c/x^3 1 <= x < infinity, 0 elsewhere. Find (a) The value of c so that f(x) is a pdf. (b) The mean of X (if it exists). (c) The variance of X (if it exists). (d) P(1/2 <= X <= 2). (e) pi_0.82
