Question 1105410: Let X be a random variable with probability density function given by:
| 0, if x <0
f (x) = { cx, if 0 <= x <= 2
| 0, if x> 2
a) Get the value of constant c.
b) Get the cumulative distribution function F (x).
c) Get P (1/4 < X <3/4). Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
Since f(2) = c(2) = 2c
f(x) has the graph:
Since this is a probability density function, the area between
the graph (in red) and the x-axis is 1. Since the entire area
is the area of the right triangle, we just use the formula for
the area of a triangle:
So since the area A of the triangle is 1,
And therefore
So the point (2,2c) is the point (2,1),
and the graph of f(x) is
b) Get the cumulative distribution function F (x).
