  1. A \(\frac{1}{18}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{9}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{9}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A)
\(f(x)=\frac{x+2}{18}, -2 < x < 4 \)
\( =0, \text { otherwise } \)
\( P(|x| < 1)=P(-1 < x < 1) =\int_{-1}^{1} \frac{x+2}{18} \mathrm{dx} \)
\( =\int_{-1}^{1} f(x) d x=\frac{1}{18}\left[\frac{1}{2}+2-\frac{1}{2}+2\right]=\frac{4}{18}=\frac{2}{9}\)
