Suppose X is a continuous random variable with probability density function given by $\qquad f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x}{8} & \text{if } 0 \le x \le 4 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$ The graph of $f$ is shown in the figure. Find the following probabilities. (Use decimal notation. Give your answers to four decimal places if needed.) (a) $P(X \le 1) = 0.0625$ (b) $P(X > 3) = 0.4375$ (c) $P(X > 4) = 0$ (d) $P(2 \le X \le 3) = 0.3125$ (e) $P(X \le 2 \mid X \le 3) = 0.5555$

This can be calculated using the formula for conditional probability: P(X ≤ 2 | X ≤ 3) = P(X ≤ 2 and X ≤ 3) / P(X ≤ 3) Show more…

A random variable X has the following probability density function: f(x) = 6x(1 - x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Visually, the distribution of X is demonstrated below: Probability Density of X Use R Studio to create necessary function(s), answer the questions below. (a) Compute P(0.24 ≤ X ≤ 0.5) = (Enter your answer to four decimals) (b) Compute P(0.79 ≤ X ≤ 1) = (Enter your answer to four decimals) (c) Compute the mean/expected value of X, or μx = E(X). (use two digits after the decimal if rounding...) (d) Compute the standard deviation of X, or σx = SD(X). (use two digits after the decimal if rounding...)
