The actual tracking weight of a stereo cartridge that is set to track at 3 g on a particular change
The actual tracking weight of a stereo cartridge that is set to track at 3 g on a particular changer can be regarded as a continuous rv X with the following pdf.
f(x) = k 1 ? (x ? 3)2 2 ? x ? 4
0 otherwise
(a) Find the value of k.
(b) What is the probability that the actual tracking weight is
greater than the prescribed weight?
(c) What is the probability that the actual weight is within 0.3 g
of the prescribed weight? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
(d) What is the probability that the actual weight differs from the
prescribed weight by more than 0.4 g? (Round your answer to four
decimal places.)
