Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello! As you have posted more than 3 sub parts, we are answering the first 3 sub-parts.  In case you require the unanswered parts also, kindly re-post that parts separately.

Let X be a random variable with fx=31-x2, 0≤x≤1

a.

Condition for valid density: ∫01fxdx=1

Consider,

∫01fxdx=∫0131-x2dx                =31-x3-1301              =-0-1               =1

Hence, f(x) is a valid density function.
