(a) If <em>f(x)</em> is to be a proper density function, then its integral over the given support must evaulate to 1:

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx = \int_0^\infty cxe^{-x^2}\,\mathrm dx=1

For the integral, substitute <em>u</em> = <em>x</em> ² and d<em>u</em> = 2<em>x</em> d<em>x</em>. Then as <em>x</em> → 0, <em>u</em> → 0; as <em>x</em> → ∞, <em>u</em> → ∞:

\displaystyle\frac12\int_0^\infty ce^{-u}\,\mathrm du=\frac c2\left(\lim_{u\to\infty}(-e^{-u})-(-1)\right)=1

which reduces to

<em>c</em> / 2 (0 + 1) = 1   →   <em>c</em> = 2

(b) Find the probability P(1 < <em>X </em>< 3) by integrating the density function over [1, 3] (I'll omit the steps because it's the same process as in (a)):

\displaystyle\int_1^3 2xe^{-x^2}\,\mathrm dx = \boxed{\frac{e^8-1}{e^9}} \approx 0.3678

Your mother gave you a $150 to spend. You bought a pair of shoes for $60 and 3 blouses for $25 each and had to pay the 10% sales

No you cannot because the clothes alone with sales tax are $148.50, and you would need 20 more dollars plus 5 dollars for a meal for yourself if you wanted one.
