Suppose the proportion X of surface area in a randomly selected quadrat that is covered by a certain plant has a standard beta distribution with $\alpha = 5$ and $\beta = 2$. (a) Compute E(X) and V(X). (Round your answers to four decimal places.) E(X) = 0.7143 V(X) = 0.0255 (b) Compute P(X ? 0.5). (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 0.3633 (c) Compute P(0.5 ? X ? 0.9). (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (d) What is the expected proportion of the sampling region not covered by the plant? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
