Answer #1

(a) C is got by noting that the Total Probability = 1.

So,

we get:

between the limits 6 to 25.

Applying linits, we get:

So,

C = 2/589

(b)

The Probability Density Function of X is given by:

,

                                  6 X 25

between the limts 16 to 25.

Applying limits, we get:

P(X>16) = 0.6265

(c)

The mean E(x) is given by:

,

between the limits 6 to 25.

Applying limits, we get:
E(X) = 17.4409

(d)

The median got as follows:

between the limits 6 to x.

Applying limits, we get:

So,

x= 18.1797
