- 4. Sixteen-ounce boxes of shredded wheat cereal packed automatically by machine are sometimes over- weight and sometimes underweight. The actual weight in ounces over or under 16 is a random variable X whose probability density is f(x) = c(4- x²) for -2 < x < 2, and 0 elsewhere. Negative values pertain to ounces under 16. Determine the constant c, and then find the probability that a box of cereal will be (a) more than one ounce underweight.arrow_forwardPlease answer both parts of the question clearly thanksarrow_forwardAn individual has a vNM utility function over money of u(x) = Vx, where x is final wealth. Assume the individual currently has $16. He is offered a lottery with three possible outcomes; he could gain an extra $9, lose $7, or not lose or gain anything. There is a 15% probability that he will win the extra $9. What probability, p, of losing $7 would make the individual indifferent between to play and to not play the lottery?
