Show that if X has density function f, then E[g(X)] = ∫ g(x)f(x) dx Hint: Using Theoretical Exercise 5.2, start with E[g(X)] = ∫ P{g(X) > y}dy - ∫ P{g(X) < -y}dy

1. Compute P(μ - 2σ < X < μ + 2σ), where X has the density function g(x) = { 1/5, 0 < x < 5 0 elsewhere and compare with the result given in Chebyshev’s theorem.

5(14). A rectangular box has 4 sides, 1 bottom and no top. The length is four times the width. The surface area is 10 sq. ft. Write the volume of the box as a function of the width x. Given: y = 4x, xy + 2xh + 2yh = 10 V = xyh V=volume Write h as a function of x. Remember the units. Write V as a function of x. Remember the units.
