Question
The p.d.f. of a continuous r.v. $X$ is
$
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
\frac{3 x^2}{8} & 00 & \text { otherwise }
\end{array}\right.
$
Determine the c.d.f. of $X$ and hence find $P(X<-2)$

Answer

$ F ( x )=\int_0^x f(x) \cdot d x$
$=\int_0^x \frac{3 x^2}{8} \cdot d x$
$=\frac{3}{8} \int_0^x x^2 \cdot d x$
$=\frac{1}{8}\left[x^3\right]_0^x$
$=\frac{x^3}{8}$
$P(X<-2)=F(-2)$
$F ( x )=0 \quad \ldots\left[ F (x)=0 \text { if } x \notin(0,2)$
$\therefore F (x)=1 \text { for } x \leq 0\right]$

Bacteria increases at the rate proportional to the number of bacteria present. If the original number $N$ doubles in 4 hours, find in how many hours the number of bacteria will be $16 N$.
Solution: Let $x$ be the number of bacteria in the culture at time $t$.
Then the rate of increase of $x$ is $\frac{ d x}{ dt }$ which is proportional to $x$.
$\therefore \frac{ d x}{ dt } \propto x$
$\therefore \frac{ d x}{ dt }= kx$, where $k$ is a constant
$\therefore \frac{ d x}{x}= kdt$
On integrating, we get
$\int \frac{ d x}{x}= k \int dt$
$\therefore \log x = kt + c\ldots(1)$
$\therefore x = ae ^{ kt }$ where $a = e ^{ c }$
Initially, i.e., when $t =0$, let $x = N$
$\therefore N = ae ^{ k (0)}$
$\therefore a =$$\square$
$\therefore a = N , x = Ne ^{ kt }\ldots(2)$
When $t=4, x=2 N$
From equation (2), $2 N = Ne ^{4 k }$
$\therefore e ^{4 k }=2$
$\therefore e ^{ k }=\square$
Now we have to find out $t$, when $x=16 N$
From equation (2),
$16 N = Ne ^{ kt }$
$\therefore 16= e ^{ kt }$
$\therefore \frac{ t }{4}=\square \text { hours }$
Hence, number of bacteria will be $16 N$ in $\square$ hours
