  1. Let g(x) =

c√x, if 1 ≤ x ≤ 4 0 , else

where c is some constant, be the p.d.f. of continuous random variable Y. (a) What is the value of c? (Hint: see property (b) in the first para- graph of section 9.4.) (b) Sketch the graph of g(x). (c) Find P (2 < Y ), P (2 < Y < 3), P (Y > 2 .5), P (Y = 3.5) and P (1 ≤ Y ≤ 4). (d) Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of Y.

  1. Let h(x) =

4 −^34 x^2 ,^ if^ −^1 ≤^ x^ ≤^1 0 , else

be the p.d.f. of continuous random variable Z. (a) Sketch the graph of h(x). (b) Find P (0 < Z), P (−^12 < Z < 34 ), P (Z > 25 ), P (Z = 25 ) and P (− 1 ≤ Z ≤ 1). (c) Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of Z.
