Question 1 of 8

No calculator

Consider the displayed candidate density rule \(f(x)\)

\[f(x)=\frac{1}{3}\,x +\frac{1}{3}\]

The declared support is \(x\in[1,3]\)

The displayed function is zero outside the declared support

Use the two defining conditions for a probability density function

(a)1 mark

Does the displayed rule give a valid density for X?

(b)1 mark

Which statement gives the reason for your decision?
