11. Let f(z) and F() denote, respectively, the PDF and the CDF (cumulative distribution function) of a random variable X. The conditional PDF of X given X > 2o, where zo is a fixed 1 mmber, is defined as f(r X > ro) = f(x)/[1 – F (ro)], forr> ro, and zero elsewhere. Show that, if F(ro) < 1, then f (rX> ro) is a PDF of a random variable.

11. Let f(z) and F() denote, respectively, the PDF and the CDF (cumulative distribution
function) of a random variable X. The conditional PDF of X given X > zo, where zo is a fixed
mumber, is defined as f(r X > ro) = f(r)/ [1 – F (ro)], for r > I9, and zero elsewhere. Show
that, if F(ro) <1, then f (r X > ro) is a PDF of a random variable.
