Probability Distributions of Random Variables
Consider the random variable X with cumulative distribution function, Fx(x) = 0 if x < 0 x^3 if 0 <= x <= 1 1 if x > 1 (a) Show that F(x) has the properties of a cumulative distribution function. (b) Find the probability density function f(x). (c) Find Pr(.1 < X <= .5) using both the distribution function and the density function. (d) Evaluate the conditional probability Pr(.1 < X | X <= .5).
