Problem #8: Suppose that a random variable X'has the following probability density function.
f(x) =
{C(4-x²) 0≤x≤2
otherwise
Problem #8:
Find the expected value of X.
(You will need to find the value of the constant C so that f is a pdf.)

Problem #9: Suppose that the waiting time X (in seconds) for the pedestrian signal at a particular street crossing is a random
variable with the following pdf.
Problem #9:

(1-x/64)² 0<x< 64
otherwise

If you use this crossing every day for the next 6 days, what is the probability that you will wait for at least 10
seconds on exactly 2 of those days?
