Question 1

For what constant k if f(x) = k e-x a probability density function on [0, 1]?






Question 2

Plutonium 239 decays continuously at a rate of 0.00284% per year. If X is the time a randomly chosen plutonium atom will decay, write down the associated probability density function and use it to compute the probability that a plutonium atom will decay between 100 and 500 years from now.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
