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

Let f(x) = (5)^x+1 .Evaluate f (-3) without using a calculator
rewona [7]

Answer:

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{126}{125}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f\left(x\right)\:=\:\left(5\right)^x+1

Putting x = -3 to find f(-3)

f\left(-3\right)\:=\:\left(5\right)^{\left(-3\right)}+1

as

5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}       ∵  \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

so

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{1}{125}+1

\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:1=\frac{1\cdot \:125}{125}

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{1\cdot \:\:125}{125}+\frac{1}{125}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{1\cdot \:\:125+1}{125}

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{126}{125}      ∵ 1\cdot \:125+1=126

Thus,

f\left(-3\right)=\frac{126}{125}
