TopicCumulative distribution functions
TypeInterquartile range calculation

6 The continuous random variable \(X\) has cumulative distribution function F given by $$F ( x ) = \begin{cases} 0 & x < 0
\frac { 1 } { 60 } \left( 16 x - x ^ { 2 } \right) & 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 6
1 & x > 6 \end{cases}$$
  1. Find the interquartile range of \(X\).
  2. Find \(\mathrm { E } \left( X ^ { 3 } \right)\).
    The random variable \(Y\) is such that \(Y = \sqrt { X }\).
  3. Find the probability density function of \(Y\).
