The probability density function (p.d.f.) of a continuous random variable X is defined to be: x ( + k for 0 < x < 2 f(x) = {{ 0 otherwise, for some constant k. For these problems, please ensure your answers are accurate to within 3 decimals. Part a) Find the value of k that makes the above function a proper p.d.f. Part b) Hence find P(0.25 < x < 1).
