AP stats question help

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 13-04-21] [Hit: ]
........
Suppose X is a continuous random variable with distribution function f proportional to (x/ x^2+1)
for 0 ≤x≤10.

1. Identify the constant C so that f(x) =C(x/x^2+1).
2. Compute P(X >1|X <7).

If you find the area under f using integration from 0 to 10 ....

∫ (x/x^2+1)dx = 2.30756

Since all probability density functions MUST integrate to 1, then ...

C = 1 / 2.30756 = 0.433358

2) For this problem, first integrate f(x) from 0 to 7 as this will give you ...

P(X < 7) = 0.84765353

Do the same from 1 to 7 ...

P(1 < X < 7) = 0.697463

P(X >1|X <7) = 0.697463 / 0.84765353 = 0.822816


hope that helped
