Question
A) The bid that a competitor makes on a real estate property is estimated to be somewhere
between 0 and 3 million dollars. Specifically, the bit X is viewed to be a continuous
random variable with density function:
{c(9 - x²)
f(x) = (0.
0<x<3
%3D
otherwise
1- Find the value of c that makes f(x) a legitimate density function?
2- Find the expected value and standard deviation for the competitor's bid.
