Question

The proportion of time X that an industrial robot is in operation during a 40hour work-week is a random variable with probability density function.

Note: The probability density function is shown in img3.jpg

a) Find E(X) and V(X)

b) For the robot understudy, the profit Y for a week is given by

    Y = 200X -60

c) Find an interval in which the profit should lie for at least 75% of the weeks that the robot is in use. [Hint: Use Tchebysheff's theorem.]

**Problem Statement:**

The proportion of time \( X \) that an industrial robot is in operation during a 40-hour work week is a random variable with probability density function

\[ 
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
2x & 0 \le x \le 1 \\
0 & \text{elsewhere}
\end{cases}
\]

**Questions:**

a. Find \( E(X) \) and \( V(X) \).

b. For the robot under study, the profit \( Y \) for a week is given by

\[ Y = 200X - 60 \]

Find \( E(Y) \) and \( V(Y) \).

c. Find an interval in which the profit should lie for at least 75% of the weeks that the robot is in use. [Hint: Use Tchebysheff’s theorem.]
