Can anyone help with this {(x)= 0 when x<0 or x>3 f(x)={x^2/9 when 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it satisfies all the conditions for probability density function. to find out cumulative function, you just have to integrate it. to find out mean, integrate xf(x) dx from 0 to 3 to find out variance, integrate x^2 f(x) dx from 0 to 3, then substract the square of mean square root of the result is standard deviation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do the calculation on your own?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trying it out right now. Don't know if its going in correctly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me know what you got as answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean =1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 8 for Std Dev?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, mean= 2.25, according to my calculation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply x with the function to gey mean, that is: x^3 /9 now integrate from 0 to 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X^2 you mean or did you take the anti first ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok i seei got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.25 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, now calculate the variance, the way i told ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at first, multiply x^2 with x^2/9, that is x^4/9 now integrate from 0 to 3 then subtract SQUARE of the mean from that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.3375?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct! now take the square root of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.5809

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, you got the answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you SOO much, was giving me a headache :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are welcome, this is a question of statistics, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bus calc II, but we going through a statistical section :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, what standard are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bus admin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after high school?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, i am still in school :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just looking at it from a long term wise. Benefit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, which country are you from? may i know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

US, u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

india, nice to 'meet' you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice :). Nice 'meeting' you too, Thank you much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is midnight there, i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw, can you gimme a medal? I go to medal begging sometimes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

click on best response

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, thank you
