Question

The probability density function (pdf) of a random variable X is given by: fx(x) = x/2 for 0 ? x < 1 = 1/2 for 1 ? x < 2 = (3 - x)/2 for 2 ? x < 3 = 0 otherwise. Question: Determine Fx(2.5) - Fx(0.5). In other words, you are required to determine: The cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the random variable X evaluated at 2.5 minus the cdf of the random variable X evaluated at 0.5.

          The probability density function (pdf) of a random variable X is given by:

fx(x) = x/2 for 0 ? x < 1
= 1/2 for 1 ? x < 2
= (3 - x)/2 for 2 ? x < 3
= 0 otherwise.

Question: Determine Fx(2.5) - Fx(0.5).

In other words, you are required to determine: The cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the random variable X evaluated at 2.5 minus the cdf of the random variable X evaluated at 0.5.
