Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval? f(x) = In(x), (1,91 Yes, it does not matter if is continuous or differentiable, every function satisfies the Mean Value Theorem. Yes, f is continuous on [1, 9] and differentiable on (1,9). No, f is not continuous on 1, 9). No, f is continuous on [1, 9] but not differentiable on (1,9). There is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the Mean...
Problem 6. Consider a random variable X whose cumulative distribution function (cdf) is given by 0 0.1 0.4 0.5 0.5 + q if -2 f 0 r< 2.2 if 2.2<a<3 If 3 < x < 4 We are also told that P(X > 3) = 0.1.

1. Suppose that X is continuous random variable with PDF f(x) and CDF F(x). (a) Prove that if f(x) > 0 only on a single (possible infinite) interval of the real numbers then F(x) is a strictly increasing function of x over that interval. [Hint: Try proof by contradiction]. (b) Under the conditions described in part (a), find and identify the distribution of Y = F(x). 2. Suppose now that X ~ Uniform(0, 1). For each of the distributions listed...

2. For a discrete random variable X, with CDF F(X), it is possible to show that P(a < X S b)-F(b) - F(a), for a 3 b. This is a useful fact for finding the probabil- ity that a random variable falls within a certain range. In particular, let X be a random variable with pmf p( 2 tor c-1,2 a. Find the CDF of X b.
