Let \(X\) be the number of gallons of ice cream that is requested at a certain
store on a hot summer day. Assume that \(f(x)=12 x(1000-x)^{2} / 10^{12},

If \(C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3}, \ldots\) are sets such that \(C_{k} \supset C_{k+1},
k=1,2,3, \ldots, \lim _{k \rightarrow \infty} C_{k}\) is
defined as the intersection \(C_{1} \cap C_{2} \cap C_{3} \cap \cdots .\) Find
\(\lim _{k \rightarrow \infty} C_{k}\) if
(a) \(C_{k}=\\{x: 2-1 / k
Divide a line segment into two parts by selecting a point at random. Find the probability that the larger segment is at least three times the shorter. Assume a uniform distribution.
Consider an urn which contains slips of paper each with one of the numbers \(1,2, \ldots, 100\) on it. Suppose there are \(i\) slips with the number \(i\) on it for \(i=1,2, \ldots, 100\). For example, there are 25 slips of paper with the number 25 . Assume that the slips are identical except for the numbers. Suppose one slip is drawn at random. Let \(X\) be the number on the slip. (a) Show that \(X\) has the pmf \(p(x)=x / 5050, x=1,2,3, \ldots, 100\), zero elsewhere. (b) Compute \(P(X \leq 50)\) (c) Show that the cdf of \(X\) is \(F(x)=[x]([x]+1) / 10100\), for \(1 \leq x \leq 100\), where \([x]\) is the greatest integer in \(x\).
