5 A new dairy product is tested extensively to determine its shelf life in days. The measure-
ments can be modelled by the following probability density function.
t/72
0<t< 12
S(t) =
otherwise.
Let T denote the amount of time (in days) it takes for an instance of this new dairy product to
expire.
(a) Sketch a graph of f(t).
(b) Find the cumulative distribution function F(t) for T.
