5. Consider the following probability density function (pdf) for some continuous random variable X defined by
{
* if 0saS M
elsewhere
= (r)
(a) Find the const ant M.
(b) Find the variance of X denoted V (X)
(c) Find the value of 70*h percentile for the continuous random variable X.
6. Let X1, X2 and X3 represent the times necessary to perform three successive repair tasks at a certain facility. Suppose
X1, X2 and X3 are independent normally distributed random variable with
X1 ~ N (60, 15), X2 ~ N (60, 15), and X3 ~ N (60, 15).
(a) Let M = X1 - X2 - Xs, then find the mean of M or , and the standard deviation of M or aM
(b) Compute P(–10 <M < 5)
