(a) If <em>f(x)</em> is to be a proper density function, then its integral over the given support must evaulate to 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> → ∞:
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)):
The actual amount that needs to be divided = 85
The ratio in which the amount needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 85
10x = 85
x = 85/10
= 8.5
Then
The ratio in which the number 85 will be divided = 2 * 8.5:3 * 8.5:5 * 8.5
= 17:25.5:42.5
So from the above deduction we can see that the number 85 can be divided in the ratio 17:25.5:42.5
