    a) P (x < = 1) = 0.0625

    b) P (0.5 < = x < = 1) = 0.04688

    c) P (x > 1.5) = 0.8594

    d) x = 2.8284

    e) f (x) = x / 8

    f) E (X) = 2.6667

    g) Var (X) = 0.8888, s. d (X) = 0.9428

    h) E[h (X) ] = 256

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    The cdf is as follows:

    F (x) = 0 x < 0

    F (x) = (x^2 / 16) 0 < x < 4

    F (x) = 1 x > 4

    Find:

    (a) Calculate P (X ≤ 1).

    (b) Calculate P (0.5 ≤ X ≤ 1).

    (c) Calculate P (X > 1.5).

    (d) What is the median checkout duration? [solve 0.5 = F () ].

    (e) Obtain the density function f (x). f (x) = F ' (x) =

    (f) Calculate E (X).

    (g) Calculate V (X) and σx. V (X) = σx =

    (h) If the borrower is charged an amount h (X) = X2 when checkout duration is X, compute the expected charge E[h (X) ].

    Solution:

    a) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits 0 < x < 1.

    So, P (x < = 1) = (x^2 / 16) | 0 to 1

    P (x < = 1) = (1^2 / 16) - 0

    P (x < = 1) = 0.0625

    b) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits 0.5 < x < 1.

    So, P (0.5 < = x < = 1) = (x^2 / 16) | 0.5 to 1

    P (0.5 < = x < = 1) = (1^2 / 16) - (0.5^2 / 16)

    P (0.5 < = x < = 1) = 0.0625 - 0.015625 = 0.04688

    c) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits x > 1.5

    So, P (x > 1.5) = 1 - P (x < = 1.5)

    P (x > 1.5) = 1 - (1.5^2 / 16) - 0

    P (x > 1.5) = 1 - 0.140625 = 0.8594

    d) The median checkout for the duration that is 50% of the probability:

    So, P (x < a) = 0.5

    (x^2 / 16) = 0.5

    x^2 = 12.5

    x = 2.8284

    e) The probability density function can be evaluated by taking the derivative of the cdf as follows:

    pdf f (x) = d (F (x)) / dx = x / 8

    f) The expected value of X can be evaluated by the following formula from limits - ∞ to + ∞:

    E (X) = integral (x. f (x)). dx limits: - ∞ to + ∞

    E (X) = integral (x^2 / 8)

    E (X) = x^3 / 24 limits: 0 to 4

    E (X) = 4^3 / 24 = 2.6667

    g) The variance of X can be evaluated by the following formula from limits - ∞ to + ∞:

    Var (X) = integral (x^2. f (x)). dx - (E (X)) ^2 limits: - ∞ to + ∞

    Var (X) = integral (x^3 / 8). dx - (E (X)) ^2

    Var (X) = x^4 / 32 | - (2.666667) ^2 limits: 0 to 4

    Var (X) = 4^4 / 32 - (2.666667) ^2 = 0.88888

    s. d (X) = sqrt (Var (X)) = sqrt (0.88888) = 0.9428

    h) Find the expected charge E[h (X) ], where h (X) is given by:

    h (x) = (f (x)) ^2 = x^2 / 64

    The expected value of h (X) can be evaluated by the following formula from limits - ∞ to + ∞:

    E (h (X))) = integral (x. h (x)). dx limits: - ∞ to + ∞

    E (h (X))) = integral (x^3 / 64)

    E (h (X))) = x^4 / 256 limits: 0 to 16

    E (h (X))) = 16^4 / 256 = 256
