The effectiveness of solar-energy heating units depends on the amount of radiation available from the sun. During a typical October, daily total solar radiation in Tampa, Florida, approximately follows the following probability density function (units are hundreds of calories). f(x)=- (x-2)(6-x): 2x6 3 32 a. What is the probability that the amount of daily radiation is more than 3? b. What is the probability that the amount of daily radiation is between 3 and 5? c. Find the expected value of the daily total solar radiation [40 points] The effectiveness of solar-energy heating units depends on the amount of radiation (X) available from the sun. During a typical October, daily total solar radiation in Tampa, Florida, approximately follows the following probability density function (units are hundreds of calories). f(x)=(x-2)(6-x); 25x56 a) Construct the cumulative distribution of the daily radiation? b) What is the probability that the amount of daily radiation is less than 2? c) What is the probability that the amount of daily radiation is at least 4? d) What is the expected value of daily radiation?
