Suppose that the probability density function of a random variable X is as follows:
f(x)= cx, for0<x<4; 0, otherwise.
(a) Find c.(b) Find the cumulative distribution function F and sketch it.
An insurance company provides customers with both auto and home insurance policies. For a particular customer, Χ is the deduction on his or her auto policy and Y is the deduction on the home policy. Possible values of Χ are K100 and K250, and for Y are K0, K100 and K200. The joint probability density function for (Χ,Y ) is given by the following table:
X

Find the probability for a randomly selected policy holder having a K100 deduction on the auto insurance and a K200 deduction on the home insurance.
Find the probability that a randomly selected policy holder has a home deduction of at least K100.
Are the random variables Χ and Y independent? Explain your answer.
If we look only at those insurance customers selecting the lowest auto mobile insurance deduction (K100), what is the probability that a randomly selected…
