Let X = time that elapses between the end of the class period and the actual end of the lecture. Suppose the pdf of X is: (image) Find the value of k that makes f(x) a legitimate probability density function, and use that value of k to find the probability that the lecture ends less than 3 minutes after the class period is supposed to end.arrow_forwardThe 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(a) = 4 – 4x < <1. 0. otherwise If the student passes the exam, what is the probability that their score S was at least 0.75?
