Question 14

A probability density function on the interval [a,1] is given by 1/x2 and outside this interval the value of the function is zero. The value of a is _________.

A
0.7
B
0.6
C
0.5
D
0.8
Question 14 Explanation: 
The property of probability density function is area under curve = 1
or

where (a, b) is internal and f(x) is probability density function.
Given,
f(x) = 1/x2 , a≤x≤1
The area under curve,

– 1 + 1/a = 1
1/a = 2
a = 0.5
Correct Answer: C
