Question
4.2P The effectiveness of solar-energy heating units depends on the amount of
radiation available from the sun. For a typical October, daily total solar radiation in
Tampa, Florida, approximately follows the probability density function given below
(units are hundreds of calories):
: (x – 2)(6 – x)
2<x<6
f(x) =
elsewhere
(a) Find the probability that solar radiation will exceed 300 calories on a
typical October day.
(b) What amount of solar radiation is exceeded on exactly 50% of the October
days, according to this model?
