Question
Consider a continuous random variable X with the following PDF:
ſc −1≤x≤ 0 or 1 ≤ x ≤ 3
- {%
otherwise
(a) Sketch the PDF of X. Be sure to label your axes.
(b) Determine the value of c that satisfies the normalization property. Set c to this value for
the remainder of the problem. This can be done without integration, so your answer should
be a number.
fx(x)=
(c) What is the expected value of X?
(d) What is the variance of X?
(e) What is E[2X² - 3X + 1]?
(f) Calculate the probability that |X| is less than 2. (Your answer can be an integral, but you
can also take advantage of the simple structure of the PDF.)
(g) Let B
=
(-2,2). Determine the conditional PDF fx|B(x) of X given the event {X € B}.
(h) Calculate the probability that X < 0 given that X is less than 2.
(i) Calculate the conditional expectation E[X|B] of X given that |X| is less than 2.
