Question
The random variable Y has probability density function
f(V) = k(y + y³),
0 < y< 2
and zero otherwise, where k is a positive constant.
i) Show that k =!
ii) Show that the cumulative distribution function is
y? (y? + 2)
F(y) =
12
0 < y< 2
2
y > 2.
Hence find PG < Y <).
iii) Find the variance of Y.
