A random variable X has probability density function f, where the graph of y=f(x) is a semicircle with centre (0,0) and radius π2, entirely above the x-axis. Elsewhere f(x)=0 (see diagram).
(a) Verify that f can be a probability density function.
(2)
A and B are the points where the line x=π1 meets the x-axis and the semicircle respectively.
(b) Show that angle AOB is 41π radians and hence find P(X>π1).

随机变量 X 的概率密度函数为 f。y=f(x) 的图像是一个整个位于 x 轴上方的半圆,圆心为 (0,0),半径为 π2。在其余各处,f(x)=0(见图)。
(a) 验证 f 可以是一个概率密度函数。
(2)
直线 x=π1 与 x 轴和半圆的交点分别为 A 和 B。
(b) 证明角 AOB 为 41π 弧度,并由此求 P(X>π1)。

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.
