A continuous random variable X has a probability density function given by: f(x) = 0 if x < 0 x/4 if 0 <= x < 2 1/2 if 2 <= x < 3 0 if x >= 3 (a) Find P(X < 1). (b) Find P(X < 2.5). (c) Find the cumulative distribution function F(x) = P(X <= x). Be sure to define the function for all real numbers x. (Hint: The cdf will involve four pieces, depending on an interval/range for x.) (d) Find the expected value of X.

If the probability density function of a random variable is given by: for 0 < x < 1, 2 - x for 1 ≤ x < 2 and zero everywhere else. Graph the pdf. b) Verify by integration that ∫ f(x) dx = 1. Find the probability that a random variable having this probability density will take on a value: between 0.2 and 0.8; between 0.6 and 1.2. Create a new sketch of the pdf for each probability, and shade the corresponding area represented.

00:01 Hi, in this question, govern that f of x equals 0 if x less than square root of 2, x square minus 2 if square root of 2 less than or equal to x less than square root of 3, 1 if x greater than or equal to root 3.
00:23 In part a, we have to find the smallest interval a, b such that p of a less than or equal to x less than or equal to b equals 1.
00:34 So, here we know that the formula f of b minus f of a equals 1.
00:42 So, here b equals square root of 3 and a equals root 2.
00:49 Hence, conclude that which is the final answer to the part a.
00:53 Next, move on to part b.
00:56 Here, we have to find probability of x equals 1 .6.
01:05 Here, which is equal to 0 since cdf is continuous.
01:17 So, probability at a point is 0.
01:28 Hence, conclude that p of x equals 1 .6 equals 0.
01:35 Next, move on to part c...
