Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 4
Given function is
To find the value of the constant such that is a pdf of a random variable.
By definition, is a pdf of a random variable if
(i)
Now, plugging into equation (i),
Hence, the value of the constant such that is a pdf of a random variable is 3
For this value of, the pdf of a random variable is
