Final Exam — Solutions 
1. 	A continuous random variable X has cdf 
for x ≤ 0, for 0 F(x) = < x < 1, for x ≥ ax2 	1. 
 
(a)	Determine the constants a and b. 
(b)	Find the pdf of X. Be sure to give a formula for fX(x) that is valid for all x. 
(c)	Calculate the expected value of X. 
(d)	Calculate the standard deviation of X. 
Answer: 
(a) We must have a = limx→−∞ = 0 and b = limx→+∞ = 1, since F is a cdf. (b) For all x = 0...
