Consider a continuous random variable Y with a probability density function given by f(x) = cx(1 − x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 otherwise. (a) Find the value of c to make f(x) a probability density function (pdf). (b) Calculate the cumulative probability distribution function (CDF) F(x). (c) Calculate E(X^2).

Which of the following is not true about a probability density function for a random variable X? A. The total area under the density function above the x-axis is 1.0 B The area under the density function between a and b is F (a) - F (b) C. The area under the density function between a and b is F (b) - F (a) D. For any value of a, P(X < a) = P(X <= a)

A continuous random variable $X$ has a normal distribution with mean $50.5 .$ The probability that $X$ takes a value less than 54 is $0.76 .$ Use this information and the symmetry of the density function to find the probability that $X$ takes a value greater than $47 .$ Sketch the density curve with relevant regions shaded to illustrate the computation.
