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.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
