QUESTION 1
 
The random variable x is known to be uniformly distributed between 0.5 and 1.0.
(a)
Show the graph of the probability density function.
The graph has a shaded area. The horizontal axis is labeled: x, and has tickmarks labeled: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5. The vertical axis is labeled: f(x), and has tickmarks labeled: 1, 2, 3. The shaded area is the region bounded by the horizontal axis and the following line segments.
  • A 1 unit long vertical line segment begins at 0.5 on the horizontal axis.
  • A 1 unit long vertical line segment begins at 1 on the horizontal axis.
  • A 0.5 unit long horizontal line segment begins above the horizontal axis tickmark labeled 0.5 and to the right of the tickmark labeled 1 on the vertical axis. This line segment connects the two vertical line segments.
 
The graph has a shaded area. The horizontal axis is labeled: x and has tickmarks: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5. The vertical axis is labeled: f(x), and has tickmarks: 1, 2, 3. The shaded area is the region bounded by the horizontal axis, the vertical axis, and the following line segments.
  • A 1 unit long vertical line segment begins at 1 on the horizontal axis.
  • A 1 unit long horizontal line segment begins at the tickmark labeled 1 on the vertical axis. This line segment connects the vertical line segment with the vertical axis.

  • A 2 unit long vertical line segment begins at 1 on the horizontal axis.
  • A 1 unit long horizontal line segment begins at the tickmark labeled 2 on the vertical axis. This line segment connects the vertical line segment with the vertical axis.

  • A 2 unit long vertical line segment begins at 1 on the horizontal axis.
  • A 0.5 unit long horizontal line segment begins above the horizontal axis tickmark labeled 0.5 and to the right of the tickmark labeled 2 on the vertical axis. This line segment connects the two vertical line segments.
(b)
Compute 
P(x = 0.75).
 
(c)
Compute 
P(0.5 ≤ x ≤ 0.75).
 
(d)
Compute 
P(0.6 < x < 1.0).
