TopicContinuous Probability Distributions and Random Variables
TypeFind or specify CDF

4 The random variable \(X\) has probability density function f given by $$f ( x ) = \begin{cases} \frac { 1 } { 21 } ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } & 2 \leqslant x \leqslant 5
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$
  1. Find the cumulative distribution function of \(X\).
    The random variable \(Y\) is defined by \(Y = ( X - 1 ) ^ { 4 }\).
  2. Find the probability density function of \(Y\).
