The cumulative distribution function of a random variable X
The cumulative distribution function of a random variable X is given by
F(x) =
0 if x<1
2/5 if 1 x< 2,
3/20x+1/5 if 2 x < 4,
9/10 , if 4 x < 6,
11/10e^(6x), if x 6.
(a) Find the largest number a < 7 such that P(a < X < 7) 1/4
(b) Find the smallest number b > 2 such that P(2 X b) 9/20.
