(a) To determine To estimate: The probability that the randomly selected flour beetle population is between 0 and 150. Explanation Given: The probability density function is, f ( x ) = 1.185 × 10 − 9 x 4.5222 e − 0.049846 x . Definition used: Probability density function on ( − ∞ , ∞ ) : If f is a probability density function for a random variable X in the interval ( − ∞ , ∞ ) , then 1. P ( X ≤ b ) = P ( X < b ) = ∫ − ∞ b f ( x ) d x 2. P ( X ≥ a ) = P ( X > a ) = ∫ a ∞ f ( x ) d x 3. P ( − ∞ < X < ∞ ) = ∫ − ∞ ∞ f ( x ) d x = 1 Calculation: Consider, the given function f ( x ) = 1 (b) To determine To estimate: The probability that the randomly selected flour beetle population is between 100 and 200.

Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…
