QUESTION:

Determine the cumulative distribution function for the random variable in Exercise 4-14. Use the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability that the random variable is less than 55.

4-14. The distribution of X is approximated with a triangular probability function \(f(x)=0.025 x-0.0375\) for \(30<x<50\) and \(f(x)=-0.025 x+0.0875\) for \(50<x<70\). Determine the following:

\(P(X \leq 40)\)\(P(40<X \leq 60)\)Value x exceeded with probability 0.99.
