1. The waiting time at a bus station can be modeled as a continuous random variable T in
units of minutes. The random variable is statistically described by its probability density
t/3 0sis3/2
function f, (1) given by f,(t) ={-(t/5)+4/5 3/2<154. a) Verify that f,(1) as given is
otherwise
indeed a valid probability density function. b) Obtain the expected value E{T} and the
variance var{T} of the random variable T. c) Determine the probability Pr{T > E{T}} .
2. For the probability density function given in Problem 1, determine the cdf F, (t) of the
random variable T. Plot this cdf (use MATLAB).
3. Based on the information given in Problem 1, define the event B= {T > 1} . Obtain the
conditional probability density function f,(t / B) of the random variable T and verify that
the solution proposed is indeed a valid probability density function.

conditional cdf F, (t/ B) and verify that the solution proposed is indeed a valid probability
density function. Plot this conditional cdf (use MATLAB).
