原卷通用作答要求

Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.

You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.

Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

在 00 处的累计概率是 1/31/3,所以下四分位数位于负数这一段。开平方时按区间选根。

答题过程

展开

For the lower quartile qq, (q+2)2/12=1/4(q+2)^2/12=1/4, so (q+2)2=3(q+2)^2=3. As −2≤q<0-2\le q<0, we have q+2≥0q+2\ge0, giving the exact value q=−2+3q=-2+\sqrt3.

先对两段 CDF 求导,再分别积分 x2fX(x)x^2f_X(x) 和 x4fX(x)x^4f_X(x)。

The density is (x+2)/6(x+2)/6 on −2<x<0-2<x<0 and (3x2+1)/15(3x^2+1)/15 on 0<x<20<x<2. Therefore

 E⁡[X2]= 16∫−20(x3+2x2) dx+ 115∫02(3x4+x2) dx= [x424+x39]−20 +[x525+x345]02= 29+328225=4225.\begin{align*} &\,\operatorname E[X^2]\\ =&\,\frac16\int_{-2}^0(x^3+2x^2)\,\mathrm{d}x\\ +&\,\frac1{15}\int_0^2(3x^4+x^2)\,\mathrm{d}x\\ =&\,\Big[\frac{x^4}{24}+\frac{x^3}{9}\Big]_{-2}^0\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}+\Big[\frac{x^5}{25}+\frac{x^3}{45}\Big]_0^2\\ =&\,\frac29+\frac{328}{225}=\frac{42}{25}. \end{align*}

Similarly,

 E⁡[X4]= 16∫−20(x5+2x4) dx+ 115∫02(3x6+x4) dx= [x636+x515]−20 +[x735+x575]02= 1645+2144525=69921575.\begin{align*} &\,\operatorname E[X^4]\\ =&\,\frac16\int_{-2}^0(x^5+2x^4)\,\mathrm{d}x\\ +&\,\frac1{15}\int_0^2(3x^6+x^4)\,\mathrm{d}x\\ =&\,\Big[\frac{x^6}{36}+\frac{x^5}{15}\Big]_{-2}^0\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}+\Big[\frac{x^7}{35}+\frac{x^5}{75}\Big]_0^2\\ =&\,\frac{16}{45}+\frac{2144}{525}=\frac{6992}{1575}. \end{align*}

Hence Var⁡(X2)=6992/1575−(42/25)2=63668/39375≈1.62\operatorname{Var}(X^2)=6992/1575-(42/25)^2=63668/39375\approx1.62.

X2<1X^2<1 等价于 −1<X<1-1<X<1。从两个不同分段读取端点累计概率。

答题过程

展开

Since XX is continuous,

Pr⁡(X2<1)=FX(1)−FX(−1)=715−112=2360.\Pr(X^2<1)=F_X(1)-F_X(-1)=\frac7{15}-\frac1{12}=\frac{23}{60}.
