TopicContinuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables
TypeFind median or percentiles

6 The continuous random variable \(X\) has probability density function $$f ( x ) = \begin{cases} \frac { 1 } { 114 } ( 4 x + 7 ) & 0 \leq x \leq 6
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$ 6
  1. Show that the median of \(X\) is 3.87, correct to three significant figures.
