Question

Transcribed Image Text:|A 3
The continuous random variable X has probability density function given by
fx(x) = c(1– x²),
-ISxs1,
where c is a suitable constant.
i. Show that c = 4 and plot the graph of fx(x) against x.
ii.
Show that the cumulative distribution function of X is given by
x<-1
2+ 3x – x3
Fx (x)
-1 <x<1
4
x>1
Also find P (-<x <).
iii.
Obtain the standard deviation of X, to 3 significant figures.
