Question
The p.d.f. of a continuous r.v.
$X$ is $ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{3 x^2}{8} & 0Determine the c.d.f. of $X$ and hence find $P(X>0)$

Answer

$ F ( x )=\int_0^x f(x) \cdot d x$
$=\int_0^x \frac{3 x^2}{8} \cdot d x$
$=\frac{3}{8} \int_0^x x^2 \cdot d x$
$=\frac{1}{8}\left[x^3\right]_0^x$
$=\frac{x^3}{8}$
$P(X>0)=1- P ( X \leq 0)$
$=1- F (0)$
$=1-0$
$=1$
