1. Verify that f(x) is a valid probability density function
Suppose that f(x) (as given above) is the probability density function of some random
process (technically, of a continuous random variable). Suppose A = [-3, 3] U [6, 12] is the
event that the process (or random variable) returns a value between -3 and 3 or between
6 and 12, and that B = [2,9] is the event that the process (or random variable) returns a
value between 2 and 9.
2. Compute P(B|A) and P(AB).
