The life expectancy of a smartphone's battery X in days is a continuous random variable with probability density function fx=6x1-x for 0 ≤ q x ≤ q 1. Find the probability that a smartphone chosen at random will have a life expectancy exceeding 12 hours.
The probability density function of the continuous random variable fX(x)={k/2 0≤x<8 , k 8≤x≤16 } X is given above. Accordingly, find the variance of the random variable X. Note: Enter your result with the precision of three digits after the comma. Hint: First find the constant k. Then calculate the variance of the random variable X.
