You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25.If the variance of a random variable X is given Var(X)=3.
Then Var(2X) is 2^2*Var(x) = 4*3 = 12
---------------------
30.The lifetime of a machine part has a continuous distribution on the interval (0, 40) with probability density function . Calculate the probability that the lifetime of the machine part is less than 6.

z(6) = (6-0)/40 = 0.15
P(x < 6) = P(z < 0.15) = 0.5596
========================================
31.The lifetime of a machine part has a continuous distribution on the interval (0, 40) with probability density function . Calculate the probability that the lifetime of the machine part is less than 5.

Same procedure as above.
==============================
32.If Var(X)=2,
find Var(-3X+4) = (-3)^2*Var(x) = 9*2 = 18
====================
