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.
The density is zero outside [0,5]. From x=0 to 1, draw the increasing cubic from (0,0) towards an open point at (1,k). At x=1, mark the filled point (1,4k), then draw a straight line down to (5,0). Label 1 and 5 on the horizontal axis.

The total integral is
=k∫01x3dx+k∫15(5−x)dx4k+8k.
Thus 33k/4=1, giving k=4/33.

第一段从左端积分。第二段可用上尾面积从 1 中扣除,以自动满足右端的累积概率。

For 0≤x<1, integration from 0 gives FX(x)=x4/33. For 1≤x≤5, the probability above x is
