Someone lets the pdf of X be defined by f(x) = { x, 0 ? x ? 1; c/x^3, 1 ? x < ?; 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) ?_{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).

A PDF for a continuous random variable $X$ is given. Use the PDF to find (a) $P(X \geq 2),(b) E(X),$ and $(c)$ the CDF. $$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{81}{40} x^{-3}, & \text {if } 1 \leq x \leq 9 \\0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$$
