The score of a student on a certain exam is going to be a number between 0 and 1. Think of it as the percentage of correct answers on the exam. Suppose the student passes the exam if their score S is at least 0.60 and fails otherwise. If the probability density function of a student score S is given by 4x f(x) = 4 4x <<1. 0. otherwise If the student passes the exam, what is the probability that their score S was at least 0.75?
