TopicContinuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables
TypePDF from CDF

5 The continuous random variable \(X\) has cumulative distribution function $$\mathrm { F } ( x ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { c l } 0 & x \leq 1
\frac { 1 } { 10 } x - \frac { 1 } { 10 } & 1 < x \leq 6
\frac { 1 } { 90 } x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 10 } & 6 < x \leq 9
1 & x > 9 \end{array} \right.$$ 5
  1. Find the probability density function \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\)
    5
  2. Show that \(\operatorname { Var } ( X ) = \frac { 6737 } { 1200 }\)
