    Can you see what is wrong with this question?

    Have a look at Example 4 too. That is also not a pdf. \text{Example 4} \text{For a particular Infant Welfare Centre the probability density function of the age of the children (}x\text{ years) brought to the centre is given by:} f(x) = \begin{cases}\frac{4}{5}x(2-x),&0\le x\le2...

    Can you see what is wrong with this question?

    If this was an exam question it would be completely invalid. An exam might ask you to verify that a function qualifies as a probability density function, in which case you show that it satisfies both conditions. The authors of this textbook thought that it was an example of a probability...

    Can you see what is wrong with this question?

    That means that the function is NOT a probability density function. If you find P(X ≤ 0.1) then you get a negative answer. So it is NOT a probability. You can turn it into a probability density function so that it satisfies both conditions by replacing -3(x-1)2+2 with -6(x-0.5)2+1.5.

    Can you see what is wrong with this question?

    OK. Here is hint 4: \text{For a function }f(x)\text{ to be a probability density function:} \bullet f(x)\ge0\text{ for all values of }x \bullet\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\ dx=1,\text{ i.e., the area enclosed by the graph }y=f(x)\text{ and the }x\text{-axis is equal to 1.} Do you think these...

    Can you see what is wrong with this question?

    There is something wrong with this example from New Senior Mathematics Advanced on pages 561-562. Can you see what it is? (Hint 1: there is nothing wrong with the calculation.) \text{Example 2} \text{A particular continuous random variable has the following probability density function:}...

    3U/4U Past Papers

    There are also the older leaving certificate papers which go back to 1916. For example http://4unitmaths.com/1916.pdf That's pretty good considering that this is effectively a year 11 exam (there was no year 12 till 1967). Before that there were the university entrance exams dating back to to...
