ucisity 16F X? Sketch a graph of the density function. Indicate
on this graph the probability that X lies between 1.1 and 1.9. Find this
probability.
(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected sample of Pima clay loam
will have bulk density less than .9 g/cm³.
(c) Would you be surprised if a randomly selected sample of this type of soil
has a bulk density in excess of 2.0 g/cm3? Explain, based on the probabil-
ity of this occurring.
(d) What point has the property that only 10% of the soil samples have bulk
density this high or higher?
(e) What is the moment generating function for X?
41. Most galaxies take the form of a flattened disc, with the major part of the light
coming from this very thin fundamental plane. The degree of flattening differs
from galaxy to galaxy. In the Milky Way Galaxy most gases are concentrated
near the center of the fundamental plane. Let X denote the perpendicular dis-
tance from this center to a gaseous mass. X is normally distributed with mean
2.29
