Homework Statement
The probability density function of a random variable y is:
f(y) = 100ye[itex]^{-10y}[/itex], if y>0
f(y) = 0 otherwise
What is the probability that 45y <= 10?
Homework Equations
E(y) = ∫yf(y)dy
Var(y) = ∫(y-E(y))f(y)dy
The Attempt at a Solution
I solved for the expected value of y and got E(y) = 0.2
I then got Var(y) = 0.02
I don't think this is a normal distribution because the PDF is not a normal
PDF. I don't know how to solve for the probability of 45y <= 10
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
