It is your birthday and you are waiting for someone to write you a birthday message on Facebook. On average (on your birthday) you receive a facebook message every 10 minutes.
Let X have the density fx(x) = c(2x + 1) for 0 ? x ? 4 and fx(x) = 0 otherwise, where c is a constant. Find the value of c that makes this a valid probability density function.
