Question

Transcribed Image Text:The random variable \( x \) has the following continuous probability distribution in the range \( 0 < x < a \), as shown in the figure below.
**Graph Explanation:**
- The graph is a right-angled triangle with the hypotenuse as the line segment from point \( (0, a) \) to point \( (a, 0) \).
- The horizontal axis is labeled as \( x \).
- The vertical axis is labeled as \( f(x) \).
- Point \( (0, a) \) represents where the line meets the vertical axis.
- Point \( (a, 0) \) represents where the line meets the horizontal axis.
- The line indicates a linear decrease from \( f(x) = a \) at \( x = 0 \) to \( f(x) = 0 \) at \( x = a \).
Find the value of \( a \).

Transcribed Image Text:The question asks, "Find the value of \( a \)." Below are the multiple-choice options:
- \( \sqrt{3} \)
- \( \pm \sqrt{3} \)
- \( \sqrt{2} \)
- Cannot be determined.
- 1
- \( \pm \sqrt{2} \)
- \( \pm 1 \)
The option "Cannot be determined" is selected. There are no graphs or diagrams in the image.
