Making a Probability Density Function In Exercises 13–18, find the constant k such that the function f is a probability density function over the given interval.

f ( x ) = k ( 4 − x 2 ) ,     [ − 2 ,   2 ]

To determine

To calculate: The value of constant ‘k’ for which the function f(x)=k(4−x2) is a probability density function over the interval [−2,2].

Explanation

Given Information:

The provided function, f(x)=k(4−x2) is a probability density function over the interval [−2,2].

Formula used:

Consider a function f of a continuous random variables x whose set of values is the interval [a,b], A function is a probability density function when it is non-negative and continuous on the interval [a,b] and when

∫abf(x)dx=1

Calculation:

Consider the function,

f(x)=k(4−x2)

As the function is a probability density function over the interval [−2,2],

Therefore, f(x) is continuous and non-negative over the interval [−2,2].

Also ∫−22f(x)dx=1 as,

∫−22f(x)dx=1∫−22k(4−x2) dx=1k∫−22(4−x2)dx=1k[∫
