The p.d.f. of a continuous random variable X is
\(\mathrm{f}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
\frac{x^2}{18} & \text { if }-3 < x < 3 \\
0 & \text { otherwise }
\end{array}\right.\)
Then \(\mathrm{P}[|\mathrm{X}| < 2]=\)

  1. A \(\frac{1}{27}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{13}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{27}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{27}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{27}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}[|\mathrm{X}| < 2] = \int_{-2}^{2} \frac{x^2}{18} \mathrm{d}x\) \(= \left[ \frac{x^3}{54} \right]_{-2}^{2}\)
