For some problem, the distribution is described by a symmetric triangle that goes from x=0 to x=1. Using the fact that the total distance under the curve needs to equal 1, find the height at x=0.5. Sketch a picture of the distribution. From here, figure out the formula for the distribution (hint: write it in terms of one function from x=0 to x<0.5 and another from x>0.5 to x=1.) Use this information to construct and solve the integral you would need to figure out the average value of f(x) over that interval if f(x)=x^2.
