Problem 3 (Needed for Problem 4) A continuous random variable X is said to have an exponential distribution, written Exp(X), if its probability density function f is such that le- if > 0 10 if x < 0 f(0) = 0 where > 0 is a real number. 1. Compute the mean of X 2. Compute the variance of X 3. Compute the cumulative distribution function F of X. Use this to show that for any real numbers s and...
