A continuous random variable X takes values from 0 to 6 only and has a probability distribution that is symmetrical.
Two values, a and b, of X are such that P(a<X<b)=p and P(b<X<3)=1013p, where p is a positive constant.
(a) Show that p≤235.
(1)
(b) Find P(b<X<6−a) in terms of p.
(2)
It is now given that the probability density function of X is f, where
f(x)=⎩⎨⎧361(6x−x2)00≤x≤6,otherwise.
(c) Given that b=2 and p=275, find the value of a.

连续随机变量 X 只在 0 到 6 之间取值,其概率分布是对称的。
X 的两个取值 a 和 b 满足 P(a<X<b)=p 和 P(b<X<3)=1013p,其中 p 为正常数。
(a) 证明 p≤235。
(1)
(b) 用 p 表示 P(b<X<6−a)。
(2)
现已知 X 的概率密度函数为 f,其中
f(x)=⎩⎨⎧361(6x−x2)00≤x≤6,其他情况。
(c) 已知 b=2 且 p=275,求 a 的值。
