Claim amounts for wind damage to insured homes are independent random variables with common density f(x) = ( 3 x4 , x > 1 0 ,
Irina-Kira [14]

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac3{x^4}&\text{for }x>1\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

This distribution has expectation

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_1^\infty\frac3{x^3}\,\mathrm dx=\frac32

a. The probability that X falls below the average/expectation is

P\left(X

b. Denote by X_{(3)} the largest of the three claims X_1,X_2,X_3. Then the density of this maximum order statistic is

f_{X_{(3)}}(x)=3f_X(x)F_X(x)^2

where F_X(x)=P(X\le x) is the distribution function for X. This is given by

F_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^xf_X(t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }x

So we have

f_{X_{(3)}}(x)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }x1\end{cases}

and the expectation is

E[X_{(3)}]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_{X_{(3)}}(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_1^\infty\frac9{x^3}\left(1-\frac1{x^3}\right)^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{81}{40}=\boxed{2.025}

c. Denote by X_{(1)} the smallest of the three claims. X_{(1)} has density

f_{X_{(1)}}(x)=3f_X(x)(1-F_X(x))^2=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }x1\end{cases}

so the expectation is

E[X_{(1)}]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_{X_{(1)}}(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_1^\infty\frac9{x^9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac98=\boxed{1.125}
