Question
Please do part b and graph

Transcribed Image Text:2.2.6A car panel is spray-painted by a machine, and the technicians are
particularly interested in the thickness of the resulting paint layer.
Suppose that the random variable X measures the thickness of the paint
in millimeters at a randomly chosen point on a randomly chosen car
panel, and that X takes values between 0.125 and 0.5 mm with a
probability density function of
f(x) = A(0.5 - (x - 0.25)²)
for 0.125 ≤ x ≤ 0.5 and f(x) = 0 elsewhere.
(a) Find the value of A and sketch the probability density function.
(b) Construct and sketch the cumulative distribution function.
(c) What is the probability that the paint thickness at a particular point is
less than 0.2 mm?
