In this problem we will be dealing with the probability density function (pdf) associated with a continuous random variable, X.

Remember that the pdf is basically a function that assigns a probability density to the event of X taking a value x in the domain of X, with following two properties:
1 f(x) > 0, for all x
2 f(x) dx = 1.
f(x) does not give us the exact probability of X to take value x. Since the size of the domain of X is infinite, you cannot calculate the probability. Instead, you can calculate the probability of X to lie within a range:
Pr(a < X < b) = - / sa f(x) dx
Consider the following pdf function: 6x(1 – x) if 0 < x < 1,
f(x) = 0 otherwise. Calculate the probability of P(0.3 < X < 0.7)
a) 0.784
b) 0.568
c) 0.216
d) -0.568

Answer:

b)\ 0.568

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 6x(1- x);\ 0 \le x \le 1

Required

P(0.3 < x < 0.7)

From the question, we have:

P(a < x < b) = \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

So, we have:

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = \int\limits^{0.7}_{0.3} {6x(1 - x)} \, dx

Open bracket

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) = \int\limits^{0.7}_{0.3} {6x - 6x^2} \, dx

Integrate

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) =  \frac{6x^2}{2} - \frac{6x^3}{3}}|\limits^{0.7}_{0.3}

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) =  3x^2 - 2x^3|\limits^{0.7}_{0.3}

Substitute 0.7 and 0.3 for x

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) =  (3*0.7^2 - 2*0.7^3) - (3*0.3^2 - 2*0.3^3)

Using a calculator, we have:

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) =  (0.784) - (0.216)

Remove brackets

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) =  0.784 - 0.216

P(0.3 < x < 0.7) =  0.568

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you go to a baseball park and ask what their favorite sport is most will probably say baseball. Just as if you go to a basketball court, most would respond with basketball as their favorite sport. I suggest not going to anything related to sports and asking random people.
