MCQ
If the p.d.f. of a random variable X is
$\mathrm{f}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}0.5 x, & 0 \leq x \leq 2 \\ 0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$
then the value of $\mathrm{P}(0.5 \leq \mathrm{X} \leq 1.5)$ is
  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    1

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}$
(B)
$\mathrm{P}(0.5 \leq \mathrm{X} \leq 1.5)=\int_{0.5}^{1.5} \mathrm{f}(x) \mathrm{d} x=\int_{0.5}^{1.5} 0.5 x \mathrm{~d} x$
$=0.5\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{0.5}^{1.5}=\frac{1}{2}$
