Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given that a random variable X has the following probability density function: f(x) = 4x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5, compute the CDF and evaluate F(0.25).

💡 Hint: Integrate the PDF from the lower limit to 0.25.

Challenge 2 Hard

A manufacturer has two machines, A and B. The CDF for machine A's failure times is given. If the CDF for machine B's failure is a constant value of 0.3, discuss how this affects overall machine reliability.

💡 Hint: Consider how the cumulative failure rate influences operational decisions.
