Transcribed Image Text:The time, in 100 hours, that a student uses her game console over a year is a random variable X with probability density function
( if 0 < х < 1
2 — ӕ if 1 < х <2
0 otherwise.
f(x) =

power (in number of kilowatt hours) expended by the student's game console each year is 48X² + 26. For these problems,
please ensure your answers are accurate to within 3 decimals.
Part a)
Find the mean amount of power expended by the student's game console per year.
Part b)

- Please only solve part d. Thanks.arrow_forwardThis is a Statistics problem. Please explain each step thoroughly. The problem I'm having issues with is shown below:arrow_forward4. Sixteen-ounce boxes of shredded wheat cereal packed automatically by machine are sometimes over- weight and sometimes underweight. The actual weight in ounces over or under 16 is a random variable X whose probability density is f(x) = c(4- x²) for -2 < x < 2, and 0 elsewhere. Negative values pertain to ounces under 16. Determine the constant c, and then find the probability that a box of cereal will be (a) more than one ounce underweight.arrow_forward
- Please do help me solve the problem. I am attaching the images of the question since it won't be completely clear to you. So look at the images attached belowarrow_forwardChapters: Normal and Exponential random variables. Q: Let X be an exponential random variable with rate 1. If a and b are positive numbers, then P(X > a + b|X > b) = P(X > a). a. Explain why this is called the memoryless property b. Show that for an exponential rv X with rate 1, P(X > a) = e-ad.arrow_forwardUse R to complete the following. R code and R output are requested for solution. Please keep your solution clear and easy to read. Unclear solution will not be grade. O for manual solution. Carry out a simulation experiment to illustrate the central limit theorem when the population distribution is arcsine with probability density function f(x) = 1 T√x(1-x) x = (0, 1). Consider the four sample sizes n = 1, n = 3, n = 5, n = 10, and in each case use 10,000 replications. Note: To simulate a random sample of size n from the arcsine distribution in R, use the command rbeta(n,1/2,1/2).arrow_forward
