Function of an RV
PART B
Answer the following questions:

1 The following is the Probability Distribution Function of a discrete Random Variable 𝑋:

𝑥 −3 −1 0 1 2 3 5 8
𝑝(𝑥) 0.10 0.20 0.15 0.05 0.25 0.15 0.05 0.05
Find (i) the Cumulative Distribution Function of 𝑋. (ii) 𝑃(𝑋 is odd) (iii) 𝑃(𝑋 ≤ −1|𝑋 < 2)
(iv) 𝑃(|𝑋| ≤ 2) (v) 𝐸(𝑋)
 𝑘𝑥, 0 < 𝑥 < 1 1 1 1
A random variable 𝑋 has the pdf 𝑓(𝑥) = { Find (i) 𝑘 (𝑖𝑖) 𝑃 (𝑋 < ) , (𝑖𝑖𝑖) 𝑃 ( < 𝑋 < )

 3 If 𝑋 is Random Variable such that 𝐸(𝑋) = 3 and 𝐸(𝑋 2 ) = 13, use Tchebycheff’s inequality to determine a
(a) lower bound for 𝑃(−2 < 𝑋 < 8).
