Problem :
A random variable X has probability density function
[tex]
f(n) =
\begin{cases}
Ax, & \mbox{0 lessthan equal x less than 5 } \\
A(10-x), & \mbox{5 less than equal x less than 10 }\\
0, & \mbox{otherwise }
\end{cases}
[/tex]
i)Determine A
ii)Find P(2.5 <= X <= 7.5)
Solutions
i) let P(A) = Ax and P(b)= A(10-x)
P(A) + P(B) = 1
Therefore on calculating i get A = 1/25 [IS THIS CORRECT]
ii)
integrate from [0-5] for Ax and substract it by [0-2.5] A(x) --> I will get [2.5-5] A(x)
then
integrate from [5-10] for A(10-x) and substract it by [7.5-10] A(10-x) --> I will get [5-7.5] A(10-x)
Add them both to get answer for ii)
