Someone lets the pdf of X be defined by f(x) = { x 0 <= x <= 1 c/x^3 1 <= x < infinity 0 elsewhere Find (a) The value of c so that f(x) is a pdf. (b) The mean of X (if it exists). (c) The variance of X (if it exists). (d) P(1/2 <= X <= 2). (e) pi_0.82

A random variable X has the probability density function (PDF) as follows: f(x) = kx, 0 < x < 2 f(x) = 0, else (a) Find k using the property of the PDF. (b) Derive the cumulative distribution function F(x). (c) Find the mean and variance of X. (d) Find E[(X+1)²]. (e) Find P(-1 < X ≤ 1).

Let X be a random variable with pdf f(x) = { -cx, -3 < x < 0; cx, 0 ≤ x < 3; 0, otherwise where c is a constant. Find the variance of X (write it up to first decimal place).
