Show that if X has density function f, then E[g(X)] = ∫ g(x)f(x) dx Hint: Using Theoretical Exercise 5.2, start with E[g(X)] = ∫ P{g(X) > y}dy - ∫ P{g(X) < -y}dy

Let $X$ have the density function $f,$ and let $Y=X$ with probability $\frac{1}{2}$ and $Y=-X$ with probability $\frac{1}{2} .$ Show that the density of $Y$ is symmetric about zero - that is, $f_{Y}(y)=f_{Y}(-y)$
Let $Y$ have the density function given by $$f(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}.2, & -1<y \leq 0, \\.2+c y, & 0<y \leq 1, \\0, & \text { elsewhere. }\end{array}\right.$$ a. Find $c$. b. Find $F(y)$. c. Graph $f(y)$ and $F(y)$. d. Use $F(y)$ in part $(b)$ to find $F(-1), F(0),$ and $F(1)$. e. Find $P(0 \leq Y \leq .5)$. f. Find $P(Y>.5 | Y>.1)$.
