(i) Differentiating F(x) with respect to x at continuity points of f(x), we get
\(f(x)={ F }^{ 1 }(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} 0 & x<0 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 1 & 0\le x<1 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 0 & x\ge 1 \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
The pdf f(x) is not continuous at x = 0, or at x = 1. We can define f(0) and f(1) in any manner. Choosing f(0) = 1, and f(1) = 0 .
Therefore the probability density function f(x) is
\(f(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} 1 & 0\le x<1 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 0 & otherwise \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
(ii) P(0.2 ≤ X ≤ 0.7) = F(0.7) − F(0.2)
= 0.7-0.2 = 0.5
\(P(0.2\le X\le 0.7)=\int _{ 0.2 }^{ 0.7 }{ f(x) } dx=\int _{ 0.2 }^{ 0.7 }{ 1dx } =0.5\)

\(S=\left\{\begin{array}{l} (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6) \\ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\ (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6) \\ (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6) \\ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6) \\ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \end{array}\right\}\)
(i) The sample space
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}\(\times\){1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
consists of 36 ordered pairs (α, β) where α and β can take any integer value between 1 and 6 as shown. X is assigned to each point (α, β) the sum of the numbers on the dice .
That is X (α, β) = α + β
Therefore
X (1,1) = 1+1 = 2
X (1, 2) = X (2,1) = 3
X (1,3) = X (2,2) = X (3,1)= 4
X (1, 4) = X (2,3) = X (3, 2) X (4,1) = 5
X (1,5) = X (2,4) = X (3,3) = X (4, 2) = X (5,1) = 6
X (1,6) = X (2,5) = X (3, 4) = X (4,3 = X (5, 2) X (6,1) = 7
X (2,6) = X (3,5) = X (4,4) = X (5,3) = X (6,2) = 8
X (3,6) = X (4,5) = X (5,4) X (6,3) = 9
X (4,6) = X (5,5) X (6,4) = 10
X (5,6) = (6,5) = 11
X (6,6) = 12
(ii) Then the random variable X takes on the values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
(iii) The inverse images of 10 is {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}.
(iv) The number of inverse images are given below
| Values of the random variable | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | Total |
| Number of elements in inverse image | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 36 |

Since the given function is a probability density function
\(\int _{ -\infty }^{ \infty }{ f(x) } dx=1\)
That is \(\int _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ f(x) } dx+\int _{ 1 }^{ 4 }{ f(x) } dx+\int _{ 4 }^{ \infty }{ f(x) } dx=1\)
From the given information
\(\int _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ 0dx } +\int _{ 1 }^{ 4 }{ { Cx }^{ 2 }dx } +\int _{ 4 }^{ \infty }{ 0dx } =1\)
\(0+C\left[ \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right] _{ 1 }^{ 4 }+0=1\Rightarrow C\left[ \cfrac { 64-1 }{ 3 } \right] =1\Rightarrow 21C\Rightarrow C=\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \)
Therefore the probability density function is
\(f(x)= \begin{cases}C x^{2} & 1
Since f (x) is continuous, the probability that X is equal to any particular value is zero. Therefore when the random variable is continuous, either or both of the signs < by ≤ and > by ≥ can be interchanged. Thus
(i) P(1.5 < X < 3.5) = P(1.5 ≤ X< 3.5)= P(1.5 < X ≤3.5) = P(1.5 ≤X ≤ 3.5)
Therefore
\(P(1.5
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) =\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { \left( 3.5 \right) ^{ 3 }-\left( 1.5 \right) ^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) \)
= \(\cfrac { 79 }{ 126 } \)
(ii) \(P(X\le 2)=\int _{ -\infty }^{ 2 }{ f(x) } dx=\int _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ f(x)dx } +\int _{ 1 }^{ 2 }{ f(x)dx } \)
Therefore
\(P(X\le 2)=0+\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \int _{ 1 }^{ 2 }{ { x }^{ 2 }dx=\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) } ^{ 2 }_{ 1 }\)
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { 2 }^{ 3 }-{ 1 }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) =\cfrac { 7 }{ 63 } \)
(iii) \(P(3
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \int _{ 3 }^{ 4 }{ { x }^{ 2 }dx+0=\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) } _{ 3 }^{ 4 }\)
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { 4 }^{ 3 }-{ 3 }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) =\cfrac { 37 }{ 63 } \)
6.
Since X is a discrete random variable, from the given data, X takes on the values
−2, −1, 0, and 1.
For discrete random variable X, by definition, we have f (x) = P(X = x)
Therefore left hand limit of f(x) at x = -2 is F(− 2− )
f (−2) = P(X =-2 ) = F(-2 ) - F(- 2- )= 0.25-0 = 0.25
Similarly for other jump points, we have
f (−1) = P(X = -1) = F(-1) - F(-2) = 0.60 - 0.25 = 0.35.
f (0) = P(X ) 0) = F(0) - F(-1) = 0.90 - 0.60 = 0.30 ,
f (1) = P(X =1) = F(1) - F(0) 1- 0.90 = 0.10 .
Therefore the probability mass function is
| x | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 |
| f(x) | 0.25 | 0.35 | 0.30 | 0.10 |
The distribution function F(x) has jumps at x = -2, -1, 0, and 1. The jumps are respectively 0.25, 0.35, 0.30, and 0.1 is shown in the figure given below.
These jumps determine the probability mass function
(i) \(P(X<0)=\sum _{ -\infty }^{ -1 }{ P(X=x)=P(X=-1)=0.25+0.35 } =0.60\)
(ii) \(P(X\ge -1)=\sum _{ -1 }^{ 1 }{ P(X=x)=P(x=-1) } +P(X=0)+P(X=1)=0.35+030+0.10=0.75\)
7.
By definition the cumulative distribution function for discrete random variable is
\(F(x)P\left( X\le x \right) =\underset { { x }_{ 1 }\le x }{ \Sigma } P(X={ x }_{ 1 })\)
\(P(X<1)=0\) for -∞
\(F(1)=P\left( X\le 1 \right) =\underset { { x }_{ 1 }\le x }{ \Sigma } P(X={ x }_{ i })=\sum _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ P(X=x) } =P\left( X<1 \right) +P\left( X=1 \right) =0+\frac { 1 }{ 12 } =\frac { 1 }{ 12 } \)
\(F(2)=P\left( X\le 2 \right) =\sum _{ -\infty }^{ 2 }{ P\left( X=x \right) } =P\left( X\le 1 \right) +P\left( X=1 \right) +P\left( X=2 \right) \)
= \(0+\frac { 1 }{ 12 } +\frac { 5 }{ 12 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(F(3)=P\left( X\le 3 \right) =\sum _{ -\infty }^{ 3 }{ P(X=x) } =P\left( X<1 \right) +P\left( X=1 \right) +P\left( X=2 \right) +P\left( X=3 \right) \)
= \(0+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } +\frac { 5 }{ 12 } +\frac { 5 }{ 12 } =\frac { 11 }{ 12 } \)
\(F(4)=P\left( X\le 4 \right) =\sum _{ -\infty }^{ 4 }{ P\left( X=x \right) } =P\left( X=1 \right) +P\left( X=2 \right) +P\left( X=3 \right) +P(X=4)\)
= \(0+\frac { 1 }{ 12 } +\frac { 5 }{ 12 } +\frac { 5 }{ 12 } +\frac { 1 }{ 12 } =1\)
\(F(x)= \begin{cases}0, & -\infty
(ii) \(P(X\le 3)=F(3)\frac { 11 }{ 12 } \)
(iii) \(P(X\ge 2)=1-P\left( X<2 \right) =1-P(X\le 1)=1-F(1)=1-\frac { 1 }{ 12 } =\frac { 11 }{ 12 } \)

∵ The cumulative distribution function n
\(F(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll} 0 & \text { for } & x<2 \\ \frac{1}{36} & \text { for } & x \leq 2 \\ \frac{5}{36} & \text { for } & x \leq 6 \\ \frac{15}{36} & \text { for } & x \leq 8 \\ 1 & \text { for } & x \leq 10 \end{array}\right.\)
(iii) p(4≤ X < 10) = p(x = 4) + p(x = 6) + p(x = 8)
= \(\frac { 4 }{ 36 } +\frac { 10 }{ 36 } +\frac { 12 }{ 36 } +\frac { 26 }{ 36 } =\frac { 13 }{ 18 } \)
