Transcribed Image Text:Problem 3:
Suppose that the probability density function of X is
3x
0<x<1
f(x) = {
elsewhere
Determine the P (X<1/3), P (1/3 sX<2/3), and P (X 2 2/3)
Problem 4:
In problem 3, the probability density function of X is
0< x <1
elsewhere
3x²
f(x) = 6
Determine the cumulative distribution function of X.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1:
The orders from n = 100 customers for wooden panels of various thickness (X) are summarized as follows:
Wooden Panel Thickness (X; inches)
1/8"
1/4"
3/8"
No. of customer orders
20
70
10
Let X denote the panel thickness in inches. Determine the probability mass function of X and plot f(xi).
Problem 2:
In problem 1, the following probabilities have been calculated: P(X=1/8) = 0.2, P(X=1/4) = 0.7, and
P(X=3/8) = 0.1.
Determine the cumulative distribution function of X and plot F(x).
