Find V(X).arrow_forwardlet X denotes the percentage of time out of a 40-hour workweek that a call center agent is directly serving a client by answering phone calls. Suppose that X has a probability density function defined by f(x) =3x² for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Find the mean and variance of X. Interpret the results.arrow_forwardOne of the important properties of the probability density function, f(x), of a random variable X is f(x) 2 0, for all values of X.

- The lifetime of a certain component, in years, has probability density function f(x) = Two such components, whose lifetimes are independent, are available. As soon as the first component fails, it is replaced with the second component. Let X denote the lifetime of the first component, and let Y denote the lifetime of the second component. Find the joint probability density function of X and Y. a. Find P(X 1). Find Hx. b. C. Find µx+Y• d. Find P(X + Y < 2). e.arrow_forwardAssume that the box contains 12 markers: 8 that contain ink and 4 that do not contain ink. A sample of 7 markers is selected and a random variable YY is defined as the number of markers selected which do not have ink. Fill in the table below to complete the probability density function. Be certain to list the values of Y in ascending order.arrow_forwardLet X be a continuous random variable whose probability density function is: f(x)- 1.5x2 for -1arrow_forwardThe random variable X has a uniform density function over the interval [-1, 1]. a.
