TopicContinuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables
TypePiecewise PDF with k

4 The continuous random variable \(X\) has probability density function f given by $$f ( x ) = \begin{cases} k & 0 \leqslant x < 1
k x & 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 2
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$ where \(k\) is a constant.
  1. Show that \(k = \frac { 2 } { 5 }\).
  2. Find the interquartile range of \(X\).
  3. Find \(\operatorname { Var } ( X )\).
