14. A continuous random variable X follows the probability law f(x) = ax2, 0x1.
Determine a and find the probability that x lies between 1/4 and 1/2.
[Ans. a=3, Prob.=7/64]
15. The diameter of an electric cable, say X is assumed to be a continuous random
variable with PDF given by f(x) = kx(1-x), 0x1. Determine k and find P(X1/3).
[Ans. k=6, P=7/27]
16. A continuous random variable X is distributed over the interval (0, 1) with PDF
