Step 1
We are given that X is a random variable uniformly distributed over the interval (-1, 1). We need to find: (a) The probability $P(|X| > \frac{1}{2})$. (b) The density function of the random variable $|X|$. Show more…

Let $X$ be a random variable with probability density function $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} c\left(1-x^{2}\right) & -1<x<1 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise } \end{array}\right. $$ (a) What is the value of $c ?$ (b) What is the cumulative distribution function of $X ?$
