Let X have probability density f X. Find the probability density function of the random variable Y defined by Y = a X + b.
If is an exponential random variable with a parameter, compute the probability density function of the random variable defined by
Your company must make a sealed bid for a construction project. If you succeed in winning the contract (by having the lowest bid), then you plan to pay another firm $100,000 to do the work. If you believe that the minimum bid (in thousands of dollars) of the other participating companies can be modeled as the value of a random variable that is uniformly distributed on (70, 140), how much should you bid to maximize your expected profit?
