2. Let X be a continuous random variable with pdf ( cx?, [xl < 1, f(x) = { 10, otherwise, where the parameter c is constant (with respect to x). (a) Find the constant c. (b) Compute the cumulative distribution function F(x) of X. (c) Use F(x) (from b) to determine P(X > 1/2). (d) Find E(X) and V(X).
2. Let X be a continuous random variable with pdf f(x) = { cr", [w] <1, f() = 0. Otherwise, where the parameter c is constant (with respect to x). (a) Find the constant c. (b) Compute the cumulative distribution function F(2) of X. (c) Use F(2) (from b) to determine P(X > 1/2). (d) Find E(X) and V(X).
(a) Let X be a continuous random variable with the cdf F(x) and pdf f(.1). Find the cdf and pdf of |X|. (b) Let Z ~ N(0,1), find the cdf and pdf of |Z| (express the cdf using ” (-), the cdf of Z; give the explicit formula for the pdf).
7. Let X be a continuous random variable with a known pdf of f(x) = led for x>0 and being a constant. If the mean value of X is 1/3, then find the median value of X. Give your answer as a decimal rounded to four places (i.e. X.XXXX). Hint: Hmm...this looks familiar...see (6).
