उत्तर
Since, f(x) is p.d.f. of r.v. X
∴` int_(-∞)^∞ f (x) dx` = 1
∴` int_(-∞)^1 f (x) dx + int_(3)^1f(x) dx+ int_(3)^∞f(x) dx = 1`
∴ `0 +int_(1)^3 f (x) dx +0 = 1`
∴ `int_(1)^3 c/x dx = 1`
∴ `c int_(1)^3 1/x dx = 1`
∴ `c [log x]_1^3 = 1`
∴ c [log 3 - log 1] = 1
∴ `1/log 3` ...........[∵ log 1 = 0]
E(X) = ` int_(-∞)^∞x f (x) dx = int_(-∞)^1x f (x) dx + int_(1)^3x f (x) dx + int_(3)^∞x f (x) dx`
`= 0 + int_(1)^3x f (x) dx + 0 = int_(1)^3x . c/x dx`
= `c int_(1)^31dx , where c = 1/log3`
= `1/log3[x]_1^3 = 1/log 3[ 3-1] = 2/log3`
= consider, ` int_(-∞)^∞ x^2f (x) dx = int_(-∞)^1 x^2f (x) dx +int_(1)^3 x^2f (x) dx + int_(3)^∞ x^2f (x) dx`
= 0 + `int_(1)^3 x^2f (x) dx + 0 = int_(-∞)^∞ x^2. c/x dx `
= `1/log3 int_(1)^3 x dx = 1/log 3[x^2/2]_1^3`
= `1/log3[9/2-1/2] = 4/log3`
Now, var (x) = `int_(-∞)^∞x^2 f (x) dx - [ E (x)] ^2`
= `4/log3 - (2/log3)^2`
= `4/log3 - 4/(log3)^2`
= `4 (log3) - 4/(log3)^2 = (4[log3-1])/(log3)^2`
Hence, `c =1/log3, E(x) = 2/log3 and Var (x) = (4[log3-1])/(log3)^2`
