Given a triangular PDF defined by points (0, 0), (1, 1), and (2, 0), calculate the area under the curve and verify if normalization is necessary.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for the area of a triangle to guide your calculations.
Consider a scenario with a non-normalized PDF showing a peak probability of 0.7. Discuss how you would find the normalization constant and its effect on subsequent analyses.
💡 Hint: Remember the basic integration principle for calculating area.
