TopicContinuous Uniform Random Variables
TypeConditional probability with uniform

  1. The continuous random variable X has probability density function
$$f ( x ) = \begin{cases} \frac { 1 } { 8 } & 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 9
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$
  1. Write down the name given to this distribution. The continuous random variable \(Y = 5 - 2 X\)
  2. Find \(\mathrm { P } ( Y > 0 )\)
