Probability distribution functon

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding an expression for a probability distribution function based on a provided graph. The user shares their initial attempt at defining the cumulative distribution function F(y) for different intervals of y, proposing specific equations for y values less than 2, between 2 and 4, between 4 and 6, and greater than 6. They express uncertainty about the first part of the problem but plan to tackle the remaining parts independently. The user emphasizes the importance of ensuring the equations align with the labeled axes of the graph. Overall, the focus is on deriving a correct mathematical representation of the given probability distribution.

Homework Statement


i have given following problem.I want to know how find an expression for given graph (that is 1st part).rest of parts i will try my self.but with first part i have no idea how to do it. i have attache the word file


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i was thinking following

F(y) x/6 y<2
F(y) 1/3 2<y<4
F(y) x/3 - 1 4<y<6
F(y) 1 y>6

I assume the graph is suposed to match up with the numbers that the axes were labeled with, so I would go with your equations.
