(5 points) The continuous random variable, X, has the probability density function given below. $f(x) = \begin{cases} 0.08 & \text{for } 4 \le x \le 8\\ 0.17 & \text{for } 8 < x \le 12\\ 0 & \text{elsewhere} \end{cases}$ A. P(5 < x < 10.5) = B. P(x ? 11) = Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.

Consider independent random variables X ~ Uniform((0, 1)) and Y ~ Uniform((-1, 1)). Calculate the conditional expectation function h(w) = E[X | W = w] = ∫ x f_{X|W}(x | w) dx. What should h(0) be defined as in order to make h continuous? Suppose that Z is a random variable that is always nonnegative (P{Z ≥ 0} = 1) but has expected value E[Z] = 0. Use the fact that E(Z) ≥ c P{Z ≥ c} for all c > 0 to show that P{Z = 0} = 1.

Let X be a continuous, nonnegative random variable, i.e., f (x) = 0 for x < 0. Show that E(X) = \int_{0}^{\infty } (1 − FX (x))dx,

Let X be the continuous uniform random variable on [0, 1], and Y be the continuous uniform random variable on [-1, 0]. Assuming X and Y are independent, find the probability density function of the random variable X - Y.
