Question

The time for the first widget to be manufactured each morning is random between 1 and 3 seconds with a pdf of

f(x)=1/162(x-3)^2(x+6)

 for 0 < x < 6

What is the cumulative distribution function, F(x)?


What is the probability of a widget being made earlier than 4 s?
Answer to four decimal places 

What is the probability of a widget being made later than 1.3 s?
Answer to four decimal places 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given density function:

fx=1162x-32x+6, 0<x<6

Cumulative distribution function, F(X):

Fx=0xftdt      =0x1162t-32t+6dt      =xx3-54x+216648
