TopicCumulative distribution functions
TypeContinuous CDF with polynomial pieces

  1. The continuous random variable \(X\) has cumulative distribution function
$$\mathrm { F } ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l r } 0 & x < 3
c - 4.5 x ^ { n } & 3 \leqslant x \leqslant 9
1 & x > 9 \end{array} \right.$$ where \(c\) is a positive constant and \(n\) is an integer.
  1. Showing all stages of your working, find the value of \(c\) and the value of \(n\)
  2. Find the lower quartile of \(X\)
