Correction in Assignment no.3 Dated: Jun 20, 11

Dear Students,

It is to inform you that there was a mistake in the Question 2 (b), Assignment No. 3.

The given (incorrect) pdf was f(x) = (2x-1), 1<x < 2. This violates the basic property of a probability density function (pdf); that its total area under the curve MUST be equal to one.

The correct pdf is: f(x) = 2(x-1), 1<x < 2.

This ambiguity created difficulty for student in solving the problem. So, ALL the students will be awarded FULL marks in Q. No. 2 (b)

STA department sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!
