Discussion:
Response in a True or False (1, 2)
1. If a continuous random variable X has zero mean, then its density f(x) has to be strictly positive at zero.
2. If f(x) is a density function on [0,1], then integral 0 to 1 f^2 (x) dx < infinity.
3. A density function is verbally described as follows: it is zero for x < 1, rises linearly between 1 and 2 to 1/3, remains constant between 2 and 4, decreases linearly to zero from 4 to 5, and remains zero thereafter.
a) Plot the density function
b) Find the corresponding CDF and plot it
c) Find the mean of the distribution
d) Find P(2.5 < X < 4.5)
