Roughly, speaking, we can use probability density functions to model the likelihood of an event occurring. Formally, a probability density function on (-∞,0) is a function f such that f(2) 20 and Lsla) = 1. (a) Determine which of the following functions are probability density functions on the (-00, 00). (1-1 00 (b) We can also use probability density functions to find the expected value of the outcomes of the event - if we repeated a probability experiment many times, the expected value will equal the average of the outcomes of the experiment. (e.g. zf(z) dz yields the expected value for a density f(x) with domain on the real mumbers.) Find the expected value for one of the valid probability densities above.
