Question

f (x) = c/x3 for 1 < x < ∞; Find the constant c so that f (x) is a
pdf of some random variable X, and then find the cdf, F (x) = P(X ≤ x). Sketch graphs
of the pdf f (x) and the cdf F (x), and find the mean μ and variance σ2.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given Information

Let X be a continuous random variable  and it is given that

f(x)=cx3    ;1<x<

To find:

  • Constant c such that f(x) is a PDF
  • Cumulative density function of X
  • Plot of pdf and cdf of X
  • mean and variance of X
