Solution
Cumulative density function
F(x) = c/x^6, x>2
Hence by total prob axiom
F(inf) -F(2) = 1
As this is ridiculous let us assume tht F is pdf.
Integral of from 2to inf = 5c/32 =1
c= 32/5
------------------------------------------
ii)
Cumulative Function for x is = int 2 to x of dx
= 1-32/5x^5
P(2
iii) Std dev
E(X^2) = integral of c/x^4 dx = 3c/2^3 = 24
E(X) = integral of c/x^5 dx = 4c/2^4 = 1.6
Var(X) = 24-2.56= 21.44
std dev (X)=4.63
-----------------------
iv)95th percentile
cum prob = 0.95
i.e. 1-32/5x^5 = 0.95
0.05(5x^5) = 32
x^5 = 128
x = 2.63
