MCQ
X is a continuous random variable with probability density function
$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{f}(x) & =\frac{x^2}{8}, 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\& =0, \quad \text { otherwise }\end{aligned}$
Then, the value of $\mathrm{P}(0.2 \leq \mathrm{X} \leq 0.5)$ is
  • $\frac{0.117}{24}$
  • B
    $\frac{0.112}{24}$
  • C
    $\frac{0.117}{36}$
  • D
    $\frac{0.112}{36}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{0.117}{24}$
(A)
$\mathrm{P}(0.2 \leq \mathrm{X} \leq 0.5)=\int_{0.2}^{0.5} \frac{x^2}{8} \mathrm{~d} x=\left[\frac{x^3}{24}\right]_{0.2}^{0.5}$
$\begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{24}\left[(0.5)^3-(0.2)^3\right] \\ & =\frac{0.125-0.008}{24} \\ & =\frac{0.117}{24}\end{aligned}$
