Throughout this problem use the following function: if x < 0 f(x) = if 0 < x < 2 if x > 2 (a) For what value of c is f(x) a probability density function? (b) If f(x) (with the value of c you computed in part (a)) is the probability density function for the continuous, random variable X, compute P(X > 1). (c) What is the mean (µ) of this probability density function f(x)?
