Question
Q. 6 The percentage of impurities per batch in a chemical product is a random variable X
with density function fx(x)=12x² (1–x); 0<x<1
A batch with more than 40% impurities cannot be sold.
(a) Integrate the density directly to determine the probability that a randomly selected batch
cannot be sold because of excessive impurities.
(b) Find the mean and variance of the percentage of impurities in a randomly selected batch
of the chemical.
