b) P ( 0.5 <= x <= 1 Â ) = 0.04688
c) P (x > 1.5 ) = Â 0.8594
d) x = 2.8284
e) f(x) = x / 8
f) E(X) = 2.6667
g) Var (X) = 0.8888 Â , s.d (X) = 0.9428
h) E[h(X)] = 256
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The cdf is as follows:
              F(x) = 0          x < 0
              F(x) = (x^2 / 16)   0 < x < 4
              F(x) = 1          x > 4
Find:
(a) Calculate P(X ≤ 1).
(b) Calculate P(0.5 ≤ X ≤ 1).
(c) Calculate P(X > 1.5).
(d) What is the median checkout duration ? [solve 0.5 = F()].
(e) Obtain the density function f(x). f(x) = F '(x) =
(f) Calculate E(X).
(g) Calculate V(X) and σx. V(X) = σx =
(h) If the borrower is charged an amount h(X) = X2 when checkout duration is X, compute the expected charge E[h(X)].
Solution:
a) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits 0 < x < 1.
So, P (x <= 1 ) = (x^2 / 16) | 0 to 1
   P (x <= 1 ) = (1^2 / 16)  - 0
   P (x <= 1 ) = 0.0625
b) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits 0.5 < x < 1.
So, P ( 0.5 <= x <= 1 ) = (x^2 / 16) | 0.5 to 1
   P ( 0.5 <= x <= 1  ) = (1^2 / 16)  - (0.5^2 / 16)
   P ( 0.5 <= x <= 1  ) = 0.0625 - 0.015625 = 0.04688
c) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits x > 1.5
So, P (x > 1.5 ) = 1 - P (x <= 1.5 )
   P (x > 1.5 ) = 1 - (1.5^2 / 16)  - 0
   P (x > 1.5 ) = 1 - 0.140625 = 0.8594
d) The median checkout for the duration that is 50% of the probability:
So, P( x < a ) = 0.5
   (x^2 / 16) = 0.5
    x^2 = 12.5
   x = 2.8284
e) The probability density function can be evaluated by taking the derivative of the cdf as follows:
    pdf f(x) = d(F(x)) / dx = x / 8
f) The expected value of X can be evaluated by the following formula from limits - ∞ to +∞:
     E(X) = integral ( x . f(x)).dx      limits: - ∞ to +∞
     E(X) = integral ( x^2 / 8)  Â
     E(X) = x^3 / 24               limits: 0 to 4
     E(X) = 4^3 / 24 = 2.6667
g) The variance of X can be evaluated by the following formula from limits - ∞ to +∞:
     Var(X) = integral ( x^2 . f(x)).dx - (E(X))^2      limits: - ∞ to +∞
     Var(X) = integral ( x^3 / 8).dx - (E(X))^2  Â
     Var(X) = x^4 / 32 | - (2.666667)^2           limits: 0 to 4
     Var(X) = 4^4 / 32 - (2.666667)^2 = 0.88888
     s.d(X) = sqrt (Var(X)) = sqrt (0.88888) = 0.9428
h) Find the expected charge E[h(X)] , where h(X) is given by:
     h(x) = (f(x))^2 = x^2 / 64
 The expected value of h(X) can be evaluated by the following formula from limits - ∞ to +∞:
     E(h(X))) = integral ( x . h(x) ).dx      limits: - ∞ to +∞
     E(h(X))) = integral ( x^3 / 64)  Â
     E(h(X))) = x^4 / 256               limits: 0 to 16
     E(h(X))) = 16^4 / 256 = 256
