Algebra.Com's Answer #40970 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! find constant c so that f(X) satisfies the condition of being apdf of one random variable x \n" ); document.write( "1.f(X)=c(2/3)^x , x=1,2,3,...., zero elsewhere. \n" ); document.write( "You haven't specified where X ends so I'll assume it ends at 6. \n" ); document.write( "If that is true you get: \n" ); document.write( "f(1)=(2/3)c \n" ); document.write( "f(2)=(4/9)c \n" ); document.write( "f(3)=(8/27)c \n" ); document.write( "f(4)=(16/81)c \n" ); document.write( "f(5)=(32/243)c \n" ); document.write( "f(6)=(64/729)c \n" ); document.write( "Add those up. \n" ); document.write( "Set the sum = to 1 \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"c\". \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "2.f(X)=cx, x=1,2,3,4,5,6 , zero elsewhere \n" ); document.write( "Same procedure as in #1. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
