Question
Throughout this problem use the following function:
if x < 0
f(x) =
if 0 < x < 2
if x > 2
(a) For what value of c is f(x) a probability density function?
(b) If f(x) (with the value of c you computed in part (a)) is the probability density function for the
continuous, random variable X, compute P(X > 1).
(c) What is the mean (µ) of this probability density function f(x)?
