Step 1
First, we need to find the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the given pdf. The CDF, F(x), is the integral of the pdf from -infinity to x. In this case, we integrate e^(-2x) from 0 to x, which gives us F(x) = 1 - e^(-2x). Show more…

Let X be a random variable with PDF f(x) = x/4, if 1 < x <= 3, and f(x) = 0 otherwise. Let A be the event {X > 2}. Find E[X], P(A), f(x|A), and E[X|A].

Let X be a continuous random variable with pdf f(x) = 4x^3, 0 < x < 1. Find E(X) (write it up to first decimal place).

A PDF for a continuous random variable $X$ is given. Use the PDF to find (a) $P(X \geq 2),(b) E(X),$ and $(c)$ the CDF. $$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{3}{64} x^{2}(4-x), & \text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 4 \\0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$$
