Solution

Let F(x) be the c.d.f. of X

Then F(x) = ` int_(-∞)^x f (x) dx`

=` int_(-∞)^-1 f (x) dx + int_(-1)^x f (x) dx`

= 0 + `int_(-1)^x  x^2/3 dx = 1/3int_(-1)^x  x^2 dx`

= `1/3[x^3/3]_-1^x`

= `1/3[x^3/3-(-1/3)]`

∴ f(x) = `(x^3+1)/9`

P( x < 1)  = `F (1) - F (-1) - [(1^3 + 1)/9]- [((-1)^3 + 1)/9]- (2-0)/9-2/9`
