Explanation Given information: p ( x ) = { 0.5 ( 2 − x ) 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 0 otherwise } Formula used: Mean = ∫ − ∞ ∞ x . p ( x ) d x Median = ∫ − ∞ M x . p ( x ) d x = 0.5 , Then solve for M Calculation: Mean = ∫ 0 2 x × 0.5 ( 2 − x ) d x = ∫ 0 2 ( x − 0.5 x 2 ) d x = [ x 2 2 − 0.5 x 3 3 ] 0 2 = [ ( 2 2 2 − 0
