QUESTION:

Determine the mean and variance of the random variable in Exercise 4-1.

4-1(+) suppose that \(f(x)=e^{-x}\) for 0 < x. Determine the following:

\(P(1<X)\)\(P(1<X<2.5)\)\(P(X=3)\)\(P(X<4)\)\(P(3 \leq X)\)X such that \(P(x<X)=0.10\)X such that \(P(X \leq x)=0.10\)

f(x)=e^{-x}

P(1<X)

P(1<X<2.5)

P(X=3)

P(X<4)

P(3 \leq X)

P(x<X)=0.10

P(X \leq x)=0.10

ANSWER:

Solution:

Step 1 of 2:

Here It is given that X has the probability density function f(x)=;0<x.

Using this we need to find the mean and the variance of X.
