- Find a value of k that will make f a probability density function on the indicated interval.ƒ(x) = kx2; [-1, 2]arrow_forwardTheorem A at Section 8.8.1 saysA necessary and sufficient condition for T(X1,..., Xn) to be sufficient for a parameter θ is that the joint probability function (density function or frequency function) factors in the formf(x1,...,xn|θ) = g[T(x1,...,xn),θ]h(x1,...,xn)arrow_forwardVerify that p(x) = 3x−4 is a probability density function on [1,∞) and calculate its mean value.arrow_forward
- Find a value of k that will make f a probability density function on the indicated interval.ƒ(x) = kx; [1, 5]arrow_forwardSuppose that ƒ is a uniform joint probability density function on0 ≤ x 6 2, 0 ≤ y < 3. What is the formula for ƒ? What is theprobability that X < Y?arrow_forwardSuppose that the probability density function of x is fx=3x2, 0<x<1 0, elsewhere Determine p(x < (1/3)), p((1/3) ≤ x < (2/3)), and p(x ≥ (2/3)) Determine the cumulative distribution function of x.arrow_forward
