Example 5
The yield of a variety of Farmer Jase's pumpkin patch has a probability density function:
kx,0 <x<3
f(x) = {k(6 - x), 3 <x<6
0, x <0 or x> 6
a. Find the variance
b. Find the probability Pr(u –1<X<u+1)
c. Find the value of a such that Pr(X > a) = 0.6, giving your answer correct to one decimal place.
